AceShowbiz - Fans on Instagram jumped in to help teach Tiffany Haddish the proper way to light a Hanukkah menorah, after the star didn't know when to light the next candle.
On the fifth night of the Jewish holiday, the "Girls Trip" actress shared a photo of her two menorahs with only four candles (plus the shamash - the candle that sits in the middle of the menorah on a higher level) lit.
While the shamash is the candle that's used to light the other eight candles that symbolise the eight days of Hanukkah, fans were quick to point out that Tiffany still needed to light one more.
The actress who is Jewish on her father's side responded: "You right."
After lighting the fifth candle, the "Night School" star posted a new photo, writing: "Ok y'all I got it right. Thank you to my Jewish sisters and brothers on teaching me!".
"For years I have been lighting the extra candle on the last day. That's what happens when you teaching yourself or hanging with other that are like just as long as we lit we good. #happyhanukkah #stilllearning."
Earlier this month, Tiffany had a Bat Mitzvah at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on December 3 to coincide with her 40th birthday. The celebration is typically held when a Jewish girl reaches 12.
Stars including Jimmy Kimmel, Billy Crystal, Kevin Nealon and New York Yankees hitter Giancarlo Stanton were in attendance.
