Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have Lucite or acrylic menorahs?

Yes. Waterdale's Lucite (acrylic) menorahs feature fire-safe metal inserts and are designed for use with oil cups. They offer a clean, modern look while providing a beautiful centerpiece for your Chanukah display. Review the individual product page for specific lighting instructions.

How many candles does a Hanukkah menorah have?

A Hanukkah menorah, or Chanukiah, has nine branches: eight lights representing the eight nights of Chanukah, plus a ninth light called the shamash, which is used to light the others.

Do your hand-painted menorahs have matching pieces?

Yes. The Painted Jerusalem Menorah coordinates with the Painted Jerusalem Chanukah Matchbox and Brachos Card. The Painted by Judy Menorah pairs with the Painted Judy Chanukah Matchbox and Brachos Tabletop. Together, these pieces create a beautifully coordinated Chanukah display.

Should I use candles or oil cups with a Lucite menorah?

Oil cups are recommended for Lucite menorahs. Waterdale's Lucite menorahs feature fire-safe metal inserts designed to hold oil cups securely while keeping the flame away from the Lucite. Because Lucite is flammable, candles are not recommended for use with Lucite menorahs. Always keep flames attended and follow the specific care and safety instructions for your menorah.

What is the difference between a menorah and a Chanukiah?

A menorah traditionally refers to the seven-branched lamp that stood in the Beis Hamikdash (Holy Temple). A Chanukiah, also called a Chanukah menorah, has nine branches: eight for the eight nights of Chanukah and a ninth branch for the shamash, which is used to light the other candles or lights. Today, the terms menorah and Chanukiah are often used interchangeably when referring to a Chanukah menorah.

Does a menorah make a good Chanukah gift?

A menorah makes a meaningful Jewish Chanukah gift, especially for a newly married couple, a new home, a teenager, or someone starting their own Judaica collection. For a more complete gift, pair a menorah with Brachos and a matchbox, or explore our Chanukah Gift Sets.
