Actually, Jews say 2 blessings at Hanukkah. The first one goes Barukh atah adonai, eloheynu melekh ha-olam, asher kidshanu bemitzvotav, vitzivanu, l'had lik-ner, Shel Hanukkah. This translates to "Blessed are you, O God, ruler of the universe, who commands us to light the candles of Hanukkah." The second blessing means "Blessed are you, O God, ruler of the universe, who performed miracles for our ancestors." The Hebrew goes Barukh atah adonai, eloheynu melekh ha-olam, she'asah nisim l'avotenu, bayamim, ha-heim baziman hazeh.
Jewish people believe that most actions and occasions in life deserve blessings. Hanukkah is no exception.
