Chanukah

Can a Jew recite the blessings if the Hanukkah candles were lit by a non-Jew? (Specifically, a non-Jew lit the shamash, and then a Jew took the shamash from him and lit the Hanukkah candles from it). My point is not whether a non-Jew can light the Hanukkah candles (being in the process of conversion, without blessings or just for fun). My point is whether a Jew can recite the appropriate blessings over such a candle - lit by a Gentile. It seems to me that this is not permitted. (Nor is it about a situation in which, say, a disabled Jew has only a non-Jewish caregiver to assist him, and if that non-Jew doesn't light a candle for him, performing the mitzvah is not possible).

Can we start lighting the Hannuka candles from inbetween the 8 days? Also, if for some reason, a day was skipped without lighting the Hannuka, can we continue lighting the Hannuka??   What is the halacha in this regards?

Where was the oil that was “ only enough for one day” burned, if the menorah and the vessels were unclean?

There are certain things which Halacha prohibits to do in front of certain things because of Kedushah. You can’t for example be naked or have sex in front of an exposed visible sefer or mezuzah. You can’t bring sefarim or teffilin into the restroom. So what’s the Halacha about a menorah on Hanukah? Can you get changed, have sex in front of, bring into the restroom etc? Do any rabbis speak against this? Sources please

Are dreidels muktzah? I never heard any such thing before, but my son’s rebbe says so because they are a gambling instrument.

Dear Rabbi, On a spiritual level, what is the most important message to learn from the holiday of Chanukah? Thank you and Happy Chanukah!

Dear Rabbi, The Chanukah miracle: A flask with one night’s oil burned for eight nights. But since there was oil for one night, the miracle actually lasted only seven nights! So why is Chanukah eight nights and not seven? Thank you and Happy Chanukah

Dear Rabbi, What is a “dreidel” and its connection to Chanukah? Thanks

Does livestreaming your Chanukah candle lighting increase the mitzvah of publicizing the Chanukah miracle to the world? On the quiet dead end street where we live, not a lot of people get to see the candles in our window, and those who do are all Jews. But I like to livestream it for all my social media followers to see. And my candle lighting videos have been a hit among Jews and non-Jews alike.
