RIFTA menorah lit in a window is a picture many families want to share. A short video with the family around it, grandparents and cousins included, is a way to do that when you are not in the same city.
What you need
- An iPhone with Rift.
- A clear photo of each person, face to camera.
- The scene: your window, your table, a family room.
- Optional: a photo of your own menorah, so it matches yours.
Step by step
- Tell Spark the scene. Say who is there, which night it is and where the menorah stands.
- Add the photos. Pick each person from your camera roll. Add the menorah photo if you have one.
- Check the Draft. Spark shows the plan. Reply to adjust the room or the number of candles.
- Make. Tap Make. You can leave the app, and the finished video is in your Library.
- Share. Send it in a family chat, or post it for friends.
Lines to try with Spark
- “My family around a lit menorah at a frosty window, warm lamplight in the room.”
- “Me and my cousins spinning dreidels on the living room floor, laughing.”
- “Grandma lighting the third candle while the kids watch, golden light.”
- “The whole family at a table with latkes and applesauce, candles glowing behind.”
- “Our dog on the rug beside the menorah in a little blue bow tie.”
Tips for a respectful, clear scene
- Be specific about the object. Name your own menorah or add its photo.
- Keep it quiet. A calm scene fits the moment. Skip the busy one.
- Light the room low. Ask for warm lamplight and candle glow.
- One night, one idea. Do not try eight nights in 15 seconds.
- Check the faces. A clear photo of each person gives a closer match.
