Question
What is the correct text of the blessing for lighting Hanukkah candles?
Answer
Shalom Rav and Happy Hanukkah
There are three versions: some say 'להדליק נר של חנוכה' (to light the candle of Hanukkah). Some say 'שלחנוכה' as one word. And some say 'להדליק נר חנוכה', without the word 'של'.
There is a source for each version, and everyone should follow their custom.
