What the AI looks for in Menorahs
- Branch arrangement
- Eight lights at equal height in a straight row, with the shamash set apart by height or position. This is the traditional requirement for a kosher Chanukah menorah.
- Candle fit
- Cups should fit standard Chanukah candles, or the oil cups or glass inserts you plan to use. Many decorative menorahs will not hold standard candles securely.
- Spacing
- Lights should be far enough apart that the flames stay separate and the candles do not melt each other. Crowded cups merge into one flame and drip.
- Drip tray and stability
- Look for a wide base and a removable drip tray. Menorahs burn on windowsills and tables for eight nights.
Brands that matter
- Rite Lite: Large Judaica maker with many candle and oil menorahs.
What to avoid
- Menorahs with lights at uneven heights or in a circle, if you want one that meets traditional requirements
- Cups that fit only thin novelty candles
Questions
Can I use regular birthday candles?
They are smaller than standard Chanukah candles and often wobble. Buy candles sized for menorahs.
