20 Modern Menorahs That Will Add Chic Style to Your Hanukkah Table
Light up all eight nights with a stunning new menorah.
There's a reason why Hanukkah is called the Festival of Lights. Each night of the eight-day holiday, a candle is lit after sundown on the menorah from left to right. This ritual celebrates the oil that was supposed to only last one day to illuminate the temple but miraculously lasted for eight days. In addition to outdoor decorations, menorahs are a beautiful centerpiece to decorate your table during the holidays.
Today, menorahs come in many modern designs in a variety of materials including brass, glass, marble and wood. Many menorahs become family heirlooms, passed down for generations, so they can be something worth investing in. We found 20 modern menorahs for any aesthetic that you'll want to light every night before gift-giving. Plus, we rounded up our favorite Hanukkah candles to use with your menorah this year.
