Each evening the paterfamilias, as family priest, lit the pilot, handed it most carefully over to his youngest to light; on the first night of Channukah, one taper, on the second two, until on the eighth night the children blinked with dazzled delight before the nine bright, golden flame-tips that bobbed, nodded, winked...
