Hanukkah Menorahs

This is my favorite Hanukkah Menorah! I live in a small Jewish community and my family is gone, so it reminds me of Hanukkahs past and of my time living in Jerusalem.

Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Temple of Jerusalem and the subsequent miracle: One day's worth of lamp oil lit the Temple's menorah for eight days. While not a traditional Hanukkah practice, gift-giving has become as much of a holiday staple as latkes, chocolate gelt, and twinkling candles.
