What is Hanukkah?
The meaning of Hannukah is rooted in Jewish themes and stories going back over two thousand years ago. The story tells of how the Maccabees rejected the occupier Antiochus Epiphanes and retook the temple against great odds. When Judah Maccabee rededicated the temple, they did not have enough oil, but for one day. That little bit of oil though lasted for eight whole days until more oil could be prepared. "Hannukah" means dedication. Our collection of handcrafted Hanukkah Menorahs is a beautiful display of symbolic artwork. Menorahs make a meaningful Hanukkah gift idea that will be treasured forever.
