We asked three fashionable Jewish women to share their favorite Hanukkah holiday traditions with us. From fashion to to latkes, here's what they had to say.

Kyla Weiner

Kyla breaks down her Hanukkah essentials.

Hanukkah Jammies for the Family

"[My husband] Dave said no way—but at least the kids will look cute! These Hanna Anderssonjammies are made of organic cotton and certified by OEKO-TEX standard 100. Cuteness without chemicals!"

Invisibobble Hair Ties

"As someone who accidentally caught her hair on fire by leaning back into a menorah, I always keep my hair back for the ceremonial lighting. It's also necessary when frying latkes, so your hair doesn't smell like fried oil. Best part—no creases, so you can put your hair down for the rest of the night!"

An Easy-to-Wear but Stylish Dress

Weiner recommended the Yumi dress from Young, Fabulous & Broke at Influence Style. "Incredibly cute, stylish and very forgiving—it allows you to eat lots of latkes and jelly donuts and still look cute." The Yumi is unavailable, but here's another option.

A Platform Bootie

"These super-comfy shoes will allow you to stand for hours and still feel your toes! They can be dressed up or down, they give you a fall/winter look, and you still get air flow to your legs for the 85-degree Florida holiday parties."

Hanukkah Paper Party Goods

"Target—my happiest place on earth—of course comes through with the most adorable paper party goods. They also have fun, reasonably priced decor options if you're hosting a party or the kids want to decorate the house."

Wendy Feinstein 

Every year, Wendy Feinstein hosts a Hanukkah party for her entire condo building on Longboat Key—she brings the fashion and latkes for all. 

"We throw a candle-lighting ceremony and party in our condo building, where everyone brings their own Hanukkia [menorah] to light their own candles. My husband Jerry always does a reading having to do with Hanukkah—sometimes humorous, sometimes informative—and we serve more than 100 potato latkes. It's really wonderful and well-attended by both our Jewish and non-Jewish neighbors. 

"I always take my mom's menorah to light, in addition to ours. The tradition is that you don't blow out the candles, you let them burn out. The first year after my mom died, I took her menorah to light. The party was over, everyone had gone home after their candles burned out—and I had to stay an extra 45 minutes because my mom's candle was still burning brightly!"

Sepi Ackerman

Sepi Ackerman married into a Jewish family and might have the most holiday spirit of all.

"Once upon a time I grew up celebrating Christmas—with the bright twinkle lights, the beautiful Christmas tree and Santa. Then I met my husband and we started a Jewish family, which I was initially less-than-excited to celebrate, because how could you compete with Christmas? It's practically in your face right after Halloween.

"But then I realized: I will not let my kids grow up where Hanukkah is any less fun or full of tradition than Christmas. So, the obsession started to make Hanukkah the most amazing holiday. I scour the tiny end cap of options in each store—Michael's, Target, Party City, Home Goods, Pottery Barn, Pier 1 imports, Crate and Barrel. Each year, I add a little more to my collection and now I'm at a point where you can walk into my home and think, 'Wow, this is a Hanukkah wonderland!' Who needs Elf on the Shelf when you have Mensch on the Bench?

"But it's more than just decorating. We light the candles each night. I make sure we do this each of the eight nights, and it's important to make sure we are around friends or family for each of them. We make every effort to do so because being around people you care about is important. I also make sure I do a little something special for Hanukkah in each of my girls' classrooms. Most times, my daughter is the only Jewish girl in her class, so I want her to know we are proud and it's important to let her friends understand what it is she celebrates. And last but not least, we always celebrate Christmas, too, but with friends who do so in their home. Embracing one another is very big to us and understanding acceptance is what we teach to our children."
