Ner Mitzvah Menorahs for Chanukah - Complete Set Hanukkah Menorah - Menorah, Hanukkah Candles, Dreidels, Play Coins, Guide

Product Information

There are two banorahs — as in, banana menorahs — on this list, one in the budget section, and one in the way more expensive range. I would argue that the ultimate banorah costs less than a dollar and is made out of an actual banana. Either way, I love this yellow delight. Another traditional and upscale group of menorahs which also come by way of European history are our Hazorfim Sterling Silver Menorahs. Founded in Israel in 1952 and harnessing the skill and tradition of Eastern European émigré artisans, Hazorfim Silver has produced pieces that can be found in the private collections of King Hussein of Jordan and Vladimir Putin of Russia. Electronic Hanukkah Menorah Powered by Batteries or USB 4' Cable Included Flameless Chanukkah Candles LED Flame Shaped Bulbs Chanukah Decorations by Zion Judaica (Blue) Every night of Hanukkah (there are eight in total), a candle is lit as a celebration of the miracle that God performed for the Maccabees in their struggle against the Greek Army. It is considered an act of beautification to add an extra candle every night (i.e. light one candle the first night, two candles the second night, three candles the third night) until your Menorah is gleaming with eight candles on the last night. Alongside the eight menorah candles, there is a separate candle known as the shamash (it usually appears on a different level from the other candles) that is used to light the Hanukkah candles every night.

Is this menorah a phallic lion? No, it is not. But it is still quite lovely, as a symbol of hope and peace at quite an affordable price. If you’ve ever wanted a gold banana on your mantle that also serves as a menorah, your dreams are about to come true. Yair Emmanuel’s menorah are unparalleled in their vibrancy — they really have all the colors, all the animals and all the fun.

The dinosaur menorah is now a Hanukkah classic and for good reason: it’s fierce, it’s grand and it’s beloved by kids like mine who will happily spew random facts about T-Rexes as they light it, like the fact that the carnivores probably honked, not roared. The Barbra Streisand of menorahs, if you will (I can see it being featured in her basement mall), this one is really a splurge and all out there in its beauty. Every year, I tell myself I have enough menorahs. And every year, Hanukkah rolls around and I end up getting at least two or three new ones (and also making at least one DIY one). I can’t help it. I love a good menorah.

This menorah has a vintage feel and the Hebrew word “shalom” on it, which as you might know, means both hello and peace. And who doesn’t need more peace in their house and the world right now?Contemporary designs are also available, such as Avner Agayof's minimalist-style menorahs. These colorful menorahs are made of anodized aluminum and break down into modular units and to be stored in a clever wooden box. World-renowned sculptor David Gerstein has designed a number of colorful Hanukkah menorahs in his signature approach, sheet steel plasma cut into playful patterns and printed in exuberant colors. You will also find hand-painted designs from Jerusalem-based Yair Emanuel as well as modernist designs from Haifa-based Shraga Landesman. Three simple, elegant, colorful geometric shapes make this gorgeous marbleized menorah an absolute statement piece.

Another stately budget option, this engraved menorah definitely has that “wow factor,” as one reviewer wrote, while still being affordable. Overall, reviewers seem happy with this menorah, although one suggested lining the candle holders with foil to make cleaning easier.

Some would argue that we need more light this year than ever, and the logical conclusion of that statement would be that you need to get more menorahs, all the menorahs. With that in mind, here are some of my favorite menorahs on the internet: Budget-Friendly Options Going somewhere this Hanukkah? This menorah is not only a great, compact travel companion, it also manages to be really pretty and inexpensive.

Rite Lite Antique Copper Modern Finish Hanukkah Menorah, 9 inch Aluminum - Modern & Luxurious Candleholder Jewish Holiday Party Favors Decorations Judaica Festival of Lights Gifts Menora I adore the art of Wassily Kandinsky and this menorah, inspired by his more geometrical work, is such a charming tribute. On Hanukkah, do we light a Menorah or a Hanukkiah? Is there a difference between these two items? In Hebrew, "menorah" refers to a lamp. Traditionally, the term has been used to describe the seven-branched golden candelabra that stood in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem was continuously lit every day. This is the same candelabra that was sanctified by the Maccabees after the rededication of the Temple. Since the word "menorah" simply means lamp, many refer to the nine-branched candelabra that we light on Hanukkah as a menorah. However, since the Hanukkah Menorah has nine branches (instead of the traditional seven) and does not contain the same holiness as the original Menorah, some refer to it as a "Hanukkiah." This latter term is particularly popular in Israel. Whether you call it a Hanukkah Menorah or a Hanukkiah, we are sure that you will find the perfect one for you at Judaica Web Store. This DIY set is probably the prettiest one I’ve ever seen. It comes with its own plaster molds and colorful dyes. You can also get these color-coded candles to make lighting it extra special.Historian Simon Sebag Montefiore talks about Jerusalem as not only the holy city in Israel but also a multivalent metaphor, the place of our origin and the place to which we will one day return, a memory as well as a hope that each one of us carries inside us no matter where we live. Thought of this way, the menorah is not only a commemorative object referring to the miracle in the Temple, when The Maccabees defeated the Seleucids and when one day's worth of oil lasted eight. The menorah is also our way of sanctifying the stronghold of the family home. Be ready for every night of Hanukkah with hand-dipped Israeli-made candles for all of your Hanukkah menorahs, also conveniently available at our store!
