The Shamash
The Chanukah light symbolizes the light of religious, national and cultural freedom won by the Maccabees for their people. It gave new force to the faith that had waned under the influence of the Greeks, and Jewish culture began to flourish again. Also the Hebrew language, which had been largely supplanted by Greek, came into its own once more. 
The Shamash is lit first and then used to light the other eight candles. The candles are placed in the menorah from right to left. But the candles are lit from left to right.
Click the Menorah to see the first light.
