Listen to the blessings for lighting the Menorah MP3 file The first two blessings are
said with the Shamash already lit, but immediately prior to lighting the
Chanukah candles. BLESSING #1Baruch ata Ado-noi Elo-heinu melech ha-olam, Asher kid-shanu bi-mitzvo-sav, Vi-tzee-vanu li-had-leek ner shel Chanukah. Blessed are You, the Lord our G-d, King of the universe, Who sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us to kindle the Chanukah light. BLESSING #2Baruch ata Ado-noi Elo-heinu melech ha-olam, Shi-asa nee-seem la-avo-seinu, Baya-meem ha-haim baz-man ha-zeh. Blessed are You, the Lord our G-d, King of the universe, Who made miracles for our forefathers, in those days at this season. BLESSING #3This blessing is said on the first night only. Baruch ata Ado-noi Elo-heinu melech ha-olam, Sheh-he-che-yanu vi-kee-yimanu Vi-hee-gee-yanu laz-man ha-zeh. Blessed are You, the Lord our G-d, King of the universe, Who has kept us alive, sustained us, and brought us to this season. This paragraph is said each night, after the first light has been kindled: Ha-nerot ha-lalu anach-nu

It touched my heart
As a former yeshiva student, I was embarrassed that I couldn't remember the Baruchas. Your site is wonderful. I work in NYC and it took me less time to find the blessings on your site than to find a Menorah in downtown NYC.
