This beautiful Chanukkiah Menorah is unique in design. The servant candle is at one end of the Chanukkiah slightly set off from the other candles. The eight candle holders are mounted on a base and have an amazing floral motif encircling them. The base has four triangular textured legs that are decorated with scrollwork. The base has a grapevine motif with symbols of Chanukah dispersed within it.

The layout of the Chanukkiah Menorah is linear giving it a very modern feel which would be a welcome addition in any home.

Nickel Plated for easy care.

Additional Information

The Hanukkiah is a candelabrum used specifically for Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights. According to the history of the holiday, the Great Temple was destroyed by the Greeks during the Greco-Judean war. When the Jews returned to their ruined Temple, they saw that the Greeks had contaminated the oil jars. They could not find enough pure oil to light the Menorah. When almost all hope was lost, they came across one jar of pure oil that was expected to burn out after a single day was over. It was a Miracle of Light when the small quantity of oil found was sufficient for 8 days, just enough time for the fresh oil supply to reach the Temple.

To commemorate this miracle, every year during Hanukkah, a special menorah with eight branches and one holder (shamash) in the middle is lit for eight consecutive days. This menorah is called a Hanukkiah. On the first night, a single candle is lit by the ninth candle, which is called the Shamash. The Shamash, traditionally placed in the center of the Hanukkiah, is used to light the other eight candles. Each night, an additional candle is added until all of the candles are lit on the 8th night. The Chanukiah is only used during Hanukkah.

Dimensions: 11 inches long x 3 1/4 inches high x 1 1/4 inch wide.
