Hanukkah 2025 is coming! The eight-day Festival of Lights will start at sundown on Sunday, December 14. The most central Hanukkah ritual is the lighting of the menorah, and in turn, the menorah has become an essential and beloved piece of Judaica in Jewish homes all over the world, often decoratively displayed the rest of the year as well.
For more details on where the menorah comes from and the rituals of lighting one, check out our Hanukkah menorah 101 blog post!
Our store has an endless selection of Hanukkah menorahs by Israeli artists, and we've put together the below guide to help you choose the right one for your home or as a gift for that special loved one!
1. For the Traditionalists:
You can never go wrong with a classy, traditional Hanukkah menorah! Traditional menorahs often have curved branches atop a tall base with the shamash in the middle, or a rectangular line of candleholders set into a low base with the shamash candle raised either in the middle or to the side. Connect with your Jewish heritage through a traditional Hanukkah menorah from Israel, and have a timeless piece of Judaica to adorn your home!

Hanukkah menorahs from the Israel Museum are a particularly special way of celebrating Jewish heritage - they bridge the past with the present by replicating genuine historic artifacts from Jewish communities around the world, in the form of functional holiday menorahs that you can use in your own home! Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity from the Israel Museum and a description of its historical background in both English and Hebrew. Part of the proceeds from your purchase goes to funding the Museum, so you'll also be supporting a world-renowned institution dedicated to preserving Jewish and Israeli culture and history.
