On the first night, we say:

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי אֱלֹהֵנוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם שֶהֶחֱינָוּ וקְִיּמְָנוּ והְִגִּיעָנוּ לַזּמְַן הַזּהֶ

Baruch A-tah Ado-nai, E -lo-he-nu Me-lech Ha-olam,she-he-hiyanu ve-kiyy’manu ve-hig-gi-anu lazman ha-zeh.

Blessed are You, Source of All Light, who grants us life, who sustains us, and who brings us to this very moment.

First Night: Public Observance

Read aloud: As we light this candle on the 1st night of Chanukah, we remember Michael Brown. May Michael’s memory be for a blessing.

(Recite Chanukah blessings)

Read aloud: With this dedication we are moved by our Jewish values that teach us, “Justice! Justice you shall pursue!” and tonight we take action to carry out the vision called for by Ferguson Action organizers.
