Holiday Collection: Hanukkah Menorah By Richard Meier

Posted on November 15, 2010 by Tanya Posted in General

Our Jewish readers will definitely appreciate the beautiful Hanukkah Menorah by Richard Meier. For the uninitiated, menorah means candle holder which is key to Hanukkah celebrations since the festival is observed by lighting a nine branched candelabrum over a period of eight nights. The Hanukkah Menorah by Richard Meier is not for sale unfortunately and is a limited edition menorah designed for the Jewish Museum in New York, to commemorate 4,000 years of Jewish history. Each candle holder represents a significant Jewish event. For example the first five candle holders represent locations of Jewish exodus from Egypt, Roman Palestine, France, England and Spain and the rest signify the violence they had to bear including the horrific concentration camps.
