On the second night of Hanukkah two candles are placed on the far right-side of the menorah and the after the shamash is lit, the other candles are lit from left to right. The blessings are recited.And then also after one candle has been kindled, the Haneirot Hallalu may be recited, tonight and for the remaining nights, while lighting the other candle(s):
We kindle these lights (to commemorate) the miracles and wonders and the saving acts that You have performed for our forefathers, in those days at this time, by Your holy priests. And all throughout the eight days of Chanukah, these lights are holy, and we are not permitted to make use of them, but only to behold them, in order to offer thanks and praise to Your great Name for Your miracles, for Your wonders and for Your salvation.
Hebrew transliteration: Haneirot hallalu anachnu madlikin al hanissim ve'al hanifla'ot, ve'al hateshu’ot, ve’al hamilchamot, she'asita la'avoteinu bayamim hahem, bazeman hazeh al yedei kohanekha hakedoshim. Vekhol sh'monat yemei Chanukah Haneirot hallalu kodesh hem. Ve'ein lanu reshut lihishtamesh bahem ela lir'otam bilvad kedei lehodot ulhallel lishimkha hagadol al nisekha ve'al nifle'otecha ve'al yeshuatekha.
