The Hanukkah lights are to be lit at sunset and placed in the doorway of the home. There is the menorah that the Torah says that this light is to be lit every afternoon within the Jerusalem Holy Temple, and the Hanukkah lights are to be lit at each nightfall of evening during the eight days of the Hanukkah festival.

The lamps of Hanukkah had originated from the lighting of the Menorah. While the original Holy Temple of the menorah holds only seven flames of light to be lit through out the day of everyday, and the Hanukkah menorah is of eight lit lamps to be lit only during the festival of Hanukkah.

In the Jewish tradition, the mitzvah of lighting the Hanukkah lamp of oil or even candles, is to be done at sunset. The Hanukkah lights are to be lit at sunset and placed in the doorway of the home. If you live higher than ground level, the Hanukkah lights are to be lit and placed in the window facing out towards the entering street area of your home. In the Torah, every lit lamp of mitzvah, there is direct representation of the world being illuminated with harmony and wisdom from all the ignorance strife and darkness.

It is explained as with every mitzvah there is a lamp, but there are two mitzvot of the lighting of the lamps. There is the menorah that the Torah says that this light is to be lit every afternoon within the Jerusalem Holy Temple, and the Hanukkah lights are to be lit at each nightfall of evening during the eight days of the Hanukkah festival.

The lamps of Hanukkah had originated from the lighting of the Menorah. The Hanukkah festival of lights began with the past sages to give honor and remembrance of the amazing rebirth within the Holy Temple of the light after being forced out during the 2nd Century BCE, by the rulers of the Hellenists within the Holy Land.

The original Holy Temple menorah stood five feet in height and was a candelabra with seven branches extending up for holding the lights. It was completely solid gold and on top there sat seven oil-burning lamps. These seven lit lamps of individual flames were fueled with only the most premium of olive oils. The special preparation of the olive oil to be as fuel for the menorah had to meet complete purity of spiritual means, and was created under very special conditions. This was so to have only the best spiritual light of physical expression that would illuminate light from the Holy Temple. This was of the utmost importance because Jerusalem’s Holy Temple has always been believed to be the epicenter of the manifested presence of God in the life of humanity, according to the Talmud.

While the original Holy Temple of the menorah holds only seven flames of light to be lit through out the day of everyday, and the Hanukkah menorah is of eight lit lamps to be lit only during the festival of Hanukkah. The Hanukkah lights are only lit in the hours of darkness and only one per a night over the eight day period. It is on the eighth night that the entire eight lights will all meet to be lit at once together.

In recent years, the ongoing battle for a ****** cancer cure has gained notoriety as more and more lives have become touched by the devastating emotional and physical trials of cancer. Yet where the malignancy of cancer lurks, supportive movements such as the recent popularization of Cancer Awareness Jewelry prevail, helping to sustain the fight against the disease and fortify the battle for a cure.

Whereas the ongoing battle for a ****** cancer cure has been made famous with the pink ribbon campaign, Cancer Awareness Jewelry is taking the power of hope and strength to new heights with innovative designs. Such jewelry can provide an ideal way in which to extend both emotional and practical support for those living with cancer. Treasured bracelets, earrings, anklets, or rings allow both friends and families of cancer survivors - as well as those undergoing treatment, to celebrate the power of hope and the beauty of strength.

The following list details awareness colors and the cancers which these colors represent:

Black - Melanoma

Burgandy - Multiple Myeloma

Brown - Colorectal

Clear - Lung Cancer, Emphysema

Dark Blue - Colon Cancer

Grey - Brain Cancer & Tumors

Green - Kidney Cancer, Bone Marrow

Gold -Childhood Cancer

Lavender - General Cancer Awareness

Light Blue - Prostrate Cancer, Thyroid Cancer & Disease

Lime Green - Lymphoma

Orange - Leukemia

Peach - Uterine Cancer

Pink - ****** Cancer

Purple- Pancreatic Cancer

Red - Multiple Mylenoma

Teal - Ovarian Cancer, Cervical Cancer

White - Bone Cancer

Yellow - Bladder and Liver Cancers

Awareness and support can be demonstrated in a myriad of ways: from the spelling out of empowering words such as ‘hope’ and ’strength’ to a color theme displaying direct support for research of a specific cancer. For instance, a friend or family member fighting ovarian cancer might greatly appreciate a beautiful teal ribbon bracelet set with Swarovski crystals and freshwater pearls or a necklace with hand-set crystal on a toggle link bracelet. A sterling silver bracelet decorated with gray crystals and a silver ribbon charm is an encouragement for someone fighting brain cancer. The Angel of Hope symbol is another popular choice for a cancer survivor or someone going through treatment. Cancer survivor rings in sterling silver send a powerful message of hope and celebration for loved ones whose cancer is in remission.

Furthermore, a charm bracelet adorned with a ****** cancer charm, the birthstone of the recipient, and other symbolic charms are a wonderful reminder of support and love during a challenging time. From the causes of cancer to the potential cures, Cancer Awareness charm bracelets allow for women to stand proud in their support of those in their lives affected by cancer. Charms can be added as a visible sign of support for the cure to a personal self-reward for those undergoing treatment to a testament of those lost to a disease which continues to claim lives.

Today, more than ever, everyone knows someone who has received a cancer diagnosis. It’s impact is far-reaching. Fortunately, the work for a cure reaches far and wide as well. Where cancer lurks, hope can and does prevail. Cancer Awareness Jewelry provides significant and visible way to support loved-ones affected by cancer. A carefully chosen piece of jewelry can provide humor, inspiration and strength for cancer patients and their families.
