Menorahs and Hanukkah Candle Holders

Unique Menorahs and Hanukkah Menorahs

The seven-armed Menorah is a commonly used symbol, often carried by Jewish individuals during their travels. It represents light and life, with its shape symbolically alluding to the Tree of Life in paradise. Each of its seven arms symbolizes attributes like understanding, strength, fear of God, divine presence, knowledge, counsel, and wisdom. The term ‘menorah’ can also refer to a Hanukkah candlestick.
A Hanukkah Menorah, also known as a Hanukkiah, is a nine-armed candelabra lit during the joyous holiday of Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights. The Hanukkah lamp features nine arms, with eight representing each of the eight days of the holiday, while the ninth arm, called a ‘shamash’ (servant), serves an important auxiliary role.
Each day of Hanukkah, an additional candle is lit, symbolizing the spreading of the Hanukkah miracle. The lighting ceremony is also observed at the White House. Traditionally, the Hanukkah candelabrum is placed at the main entrance of a home or on a window sill facing the street to share the joy with passers-by. The lighting of the Hanukkah candles is accompanied by traditional songs and blessings, followed by the enjoyment of special dishes fried in oil to commemorate the miracle. Children receive gifts during this festive celebration.

Jewish Candlesticks as Ceremonial Gift of Religious Worship

When might a candlestick make for a thoughtful gift? There are numerous occasions and reasons to consider. Among them, the most fitting is undoubtedly Hanukkah, typically observed in late November to early December. It presents an ideal opportunity to acquire a Hanukkah candlestick for someone of the Jewish faith. Opting for smaller candle holders can be perfect for younger family members, allowing everyone to partake in lighting the candles themselves.
Another excellent occasion is the Jewish holiday of Purim, celebrated in late February to early March. This festive day encourages the exchange of gifts among loved ones. Additionally, a candelabrum can serve as a wonderful gift for someone with a deep interest in Jewish culture or those working for an association, foundation, or museum dedicated to the subject of the Jewish people.
To address concerns related to candle extinguishing and hot wax, a highly practical candle extinguisher makes for an excellent addition to the gift.
