5. During Chanukah, in what direction are the candles of the menorah lit?

Lest those who celebrate Christmas forget, the Jewish holiday of Chanukah is eight nights of gifts, which we are reminded of in Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights, which features a version of the infamous "Chanukah Song." You should also hear Neil Diamond's cover of "The Chanukah Song" on his most recent holiday album:
