Question of the Week

In the Talmud, Hillel and Shammai have a great distpute on how to light the Chanukah menorah.

Hillel said that on the first night we light one, on the second, two, and so on, till eight on the eighth night. 

Shammai held the reverse opinion; namely, on the first night, light eight lights, and proceed, diminishing the number of lights by one each night, to just one light on the final night of Chanukah.

Whose ruling do we follow today:  Hillel or Shammai?
