10 Hanukkah Menorahs Under $100

The leaves have barely begun to fall off the trees, but don’t let that fool you! Winter is closer than you think, and Hanukkah, the light of the winter season, is coming soon. Hanukkah is one of the most celebrated holidays of the Jewish calendar, and at Judaica.com we are already busy preparing for the upcoming Hanukkah season.

The Hanukkah story took place thousands of years ago in the land of Israel. After a small band of Jewish Maccabees miraculously defeated the powerful Syrian-Greek army, the Jews reclaimed the holy Temple in Jerusalem. The Maccabees cleaned and reconsecrated the vessels and relit the Temple candelabra, called a menorah. Although there was only enough oil left to burn in the menorah for one day, the oil burned for eight full days until new oil could reach the Temple.

To commemorate these miracles, the central observance of Hanukkah is the nightly lighting of our own menorahs. To brighten your Hannukah this year, we have curated a selection of menorahs from acclaimed artists in a variety of styles and motifs to suit every taste. Why not bring some light into your Hannukah with a brand new one? Even better, bring some light into the life of a friend or loved one with a menorah that perfectly complements his or her style!

Here are our ten top picks, each a unique work of art, all at an incredibly affordable price of under $100:

This one is for the sports fan in your life. Bring back the taste of summer with this whimsical Baseball Menorah. The eight small balls on the grassy “outfield” are each candle holders, with a larger ball to the side to hold the shamash, or helper candle. Made of ceramic, this menorah is durable and easy to clean, as well. Score a homerun with this fun Hanukkah gift!

Simple and delicate, the Purple Tulip Glass Menorah by Lily Art is a beautiful artistic addition to any home. The contemporary glass menorah is accented by a vibrant hand painted design. Lily Shohat seeks to create pieces that are traditional yet innovative, a perfect description of this lovely piece.

Make the most of the winter blues with the Marbled Blue Menorah by Tamara Baskin. Tamara's Judaica works are known for their fused glass, with elegant yet functional designs. Each Marbled Blue Menorah is one of a kind, individually signed and dated, hand cut and assembled, fired and slumped. The blues of the fused glass swirl together, fading from a deep cobalt to the palest baby blue. Simple, yet full of depth, this menorah will enhance your holiday for years to come.

With a taste of the Old World, the Outdoor Menorah with Enclosure by Karshi is a harmonious blend of old and new. For centuries, Jews lit menorahs outside their homes, publicizing the Hanukkah miracle. To prevent the flames from blowing out, the menorahs were encased in ventilated boxes. Karshi’s innovative design integrates a menorah into a sleek, stainless steel and glass case for a look that is both modern and classic. The doors at the front of the enclosure open wide for easy lighting, then close securely to protect the flames. Light outside in tradition and style with this beautiful piece.

For an eye-catching yet carefree Hanukkah display piece, look no further than the Chrome Plated Electric Menorah With Flickering Bulbs. The ultra-modern design features highly polished gold and silver chrome. Short vertical branches sit atop a long flat base and are topped with realistic flickering light bulbs. Keep this menorah lit all day and night in your home or office for a festive Hanukkah atmosphere. Your friends and family will appreciate this practical and meaningful gift.

Ultra sleek and modern, the Curly Anodized Menorah by Yair Emanuel is a work of art. Simple candle holders, available in multi-colored or shades of blue, seem to be suspended through the air above a gracefully sculpted aluminum base. Classy and contemporary, this menorah is perfect for that sophisticated someone.

Well, shiver me timbers! Yer little matey will be sure to say “Aye, aye!” to this Pirate Ship Menorah by Yoel Judowitz.

This menorah is the perfect booty for the scalawags in your life.

How about traditional? The beautiful Silver Plated Elegant Oil Menorah is all about tradition at its best. This stately piece stands at 14 inches high, with curved branches reminiscent of the Temple menorah itself. Elegant designs encircle the stem, the base and each cup. Light this menorah with pure olive oil to complete the authentic Hanukkah look and feel.

Looking for an exceptionally unique piece for an exceptionally unique person? The Poured Concrete Puzzle Menorah by Logicfaces takes one of a kind to a whole new level.
