How many blessings should one make when lighting Hanukkah candles on the first night?
Synopsis
On the first night of Hanukkah, one recites three blessings: 'l'hadlik' (to light), 'sh'asah nissim' (who performed miracles), and 'shehechiyanu' (who has sustained us). If shehechiyanu is forgotten on the first night, it can be recited on a subsequent night.
