[[Chanukkah gelt]] ([[Yiddish language|Yiddish]] for "Chanukkah money"), known in Israel by the Hebrew translation {{Langx|he|דְּמֵי חֲנֻכָּה|dmei Hanukkah}}, is often distributed to children during the festival of Hanukkah. The giving of Hanukkah gelt also adds to the holiday excitement. The amount is usually in small coins, although grandparents or relatives may give larger sums. The tradition of giving Chanukah ''gelt'' dates back to a long-standing East European custom of children presenting their teachers with a small sum of money at this time of year as a token of gratitude. One [[minhag]] favors the fifth night of Hanukkah for giving Hanukkah gelt.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.schechter.edu/why-do-we-give-hanukkah-gelt-and-hanukkah-presents/ |title=Why Do We Give Hanukkah Gelt and Hanukkah Presents? |last=Golinkin |first=Rabbi Prof. David |date=19 December 2014 |access-date=6 October 2018 |publisher=The Schecter Institutes}}</ref> Unlike the other nights of Hanukkah, the fifth does not ever fall on the Shabbat, hence never conflicting with the [[Halachic]] injunction against handling money on the [[Shabbat]].<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Lebowitz |first1=Rabbi Aryeh |date=11 December 2005 |title=Chanukah Gelt and Gifts |url=http://download.yutorah.org/2015/1083/846556/d-varim-hayotzim-min-halev-miketz.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161229100536/http://download.yutorah.org/2015/1083/846556/d-varim-hayotzim-min-halev-miketz.pdf |archive-date=2016-12-29 |url-status=live |magazine=Dvarim Hayotzim Min Halev |type=PDF |volume=17 |issue=6 |page=3 |access-date=6 October 2018 |quote="In fact, the Orchos Rabeinu in cheilek ג teaches that the Steipler Gaon maintained the minhag of giving out Chanukah gelt davka on the fifth night of Chanukah. Why specifically the fifth night? Answers the Orchos Rabeinu, since the fifth night is the only night that cannot coincide with Shabbos." }}</ref>
