During Chanukah, eight candles are put on a special stand, and each one is lighted on every day of the festival. The last day of Chanukah commemorates the final day of this festival when the eight candle is lit, and the whole candelabrum is fully lit. This period also celebrates the survival of Judaism.
It felt like all the “candles” were lit at times. The goal was to do everything in sequence and with very little breaks in-between sets. Here’s what we did:

The ninth candle on the menorah is called the Shamash. It’s positioned in the center of the menorah and it’s higher than the other candles. The Shamash, or “Helper”, is used to light all of the other candles. So, we begun each set of exercises with by running approx. 1 block. The running signified lighting the Shamash candle.
We hit several spots during our time. We started with a Zig Zag at The Amp, to the Park, to Narnia, back to the Park, back to The Amp, to the Blocks / no Blocks, to the Lake Hills entrance, and then ending at the Flag.
After #1 you add #2 and then repeat #1 and so on.

With as windy and cold as it was, I believe we were all able to get a sweat. 1/2 way through I was feeling the DFQ kick in a bit. The short sets and running didn’t leave much time to catch your breath. After a while, you get used to the flow.
Optimus got POTD for not only doing a good job but for posting to all the Hanukkah bootcamps.
The Mick and Pacrat didn’t seem to be phased.
It was very enjoyable to participate, in an F3 sort of way, in the Jewish tradition of Hanukkah. I truly enjoy learning about the history of the Jewish people, dating back to the days or Abraham. There is so much to learn from them – good and bad.
Its no question that the Jewish people have favor with God. Israel will never be destroyed by man, not matter how hard they try! The Jewish people will be there all the way until the end. Ultimately, we will all stand before God in judgement. We will either accept Jesus, God’s son, as our Lord and Savior and live for Him, or we will die a second death which is in Hell for eternity. Brother’s, if you are not sure of your salvation, which is the most important thing in life, please come to me. If you disagree, I would like to hear your thoughts. You’re my brothers and I care about you guys. Nothing could be more important then this. Ephesians 2:8-9
