A MODERN MENORAH- 5 STYLES WE LIKE

When it comes to holidays and decorating everyone has a different approach. Some people have bins of holiday decor that they swap out with their current everyday decorating pieces.  Others, like us, pull out the necessities and go for a 'less is more' approach. We haven't decided if that's an aesthetic decision or based on our hectic holiday schedules:)

A staple for the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah is the menorah. The menorah is a like an elaborate candle holder with nine spots- 1 set apart for the samash (a prominent lit candle) which is used to light the other eight candles. The eight candles are lit one day at a time starting with the first day of Hanukkah and ending on the last day when the whole menorah will be lit.

We have found five exquisite modern menorahs to fit with your style and theme. Shop on!
