The story behind it
Jerusalem in the window on the first night.
The kitchen is loud, someone is frying latkes, and the kids are arguing over who gets to hold the shamash. Then the room goes quiet for the blessings.
One candle on the first night, two on the second, until all eight burn together on the last. Behind them sit the walls of Jerusalem, painted in enamel, with a blue Star of David. For eight nights, the old city stands on your windowsill, and everyone who walks past can see it.
For your first Hanukkah in this home. May these eight nights fill it with light and the people you love.

About this piece
This nine-branch Hanukkah menorah carries the walls of Jerusalem in painted enamel, with a blue Star of David and every candle in a row. On the first night, with one candle and the shamash lit, the old city glows in your window.
What it means
A Hanukkah menorah, or hanukkiah (חנוכייה), has nine branches: eight for the nights of Hanukkah and the shamash, the helper candle used to light the others. Each night you add one more light. The walls of Jerusalem recall the city where the Temple was rededicated in the Hanukkah story.
Size and materials
- Branches: 9 (8 + shamash)
- Material: zinc alloy, enamel paint
- Size: 7.3 × 4.7 in, 1.9 in deep (18.5 × 12 × 4.7 cm)
- Candles: standard Hanukkah candles, about 10 mm (3/8 in) wide
It is about the size of a paperback book and shallow enough for a narrow windowsill.
Who it is for
A first menorah for a new home, a couple's first Hanukkah together, or a grown child setting up their own apartment. It is also a generous host gift if you are invited for the first night. Hanukkah 2026 starts at sundown on Friday, December 4: order by November 18 to have it in time.
The verse that goes with it: “For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching is light.” (Proverbs 6:23)
Care: Let the candles burn out. Once the wax is cool, lift it off by hand without scraping the enamel. Never leave it burning unattended.
