The fifth Chanukah lecht

The Czar of Russia really didn't care about the birth of a Jewish baby in Kiev Gobernyah ("Kiev County," she translated it). So she never had a birth certificate, and probably guessed at her secular date of birth and exact age. But one thing she knew--she was born on the fifth Chanukah lecht. And so, as we lit the fifth Chanukah lecht, I remembered my mother's mother, Golda Rose.

David Bogner "Treppenwitz" clues me in on a fascinating fact concerning the fifth night of Chanukah of which I was not aware.
