A Chanukah menorah, also called a chanukiah, holds eight lights in a row plus a ninth light, the shamash, used to light the others. It is different from the seven-branch menorah of the Beis HaMikdash. Each night of Chanukah one more light is added, until all eight burn on the last night.

Before you buy, check that the menorah meets the basic halachic layout:
Decorative designs are beautiful, but if a menorah is mainly for lighting, choose one with this layout. When in doubt, ask your Rav.
An oil menorah is the choice for families who light with olive oil, the preferred way to light since the Chanukah miracle happened with oil. Look for glass cups that lift out for easy cleaning and use wicks, pre-filled cups or jelled oil lights.
A candle menorah is quick to set up and great for children. Most take standard Chanukah candles, and a box of 44 or 45 covers all eight nights. Shop Chanukah candles and menorah oil to match your menorah.
Electric and LED menorahs are popular for windows, offices, stores, hospitals and dorms where an open flame is not allowed. We carry battery-operated LED menorahs, color changing LED menorahs, large Knesset style display menorahs and an outdoor LED menorah for lawns and storefronts. Most halachic authorities hold that an electric menorah does not fulfill the mitzvah, so light with oil or candles and use the LED menorah as a decoration.

Many families give every child a menorah of their own. Kids love hand-painted resin menorahs with fun themes like sushi, cookies and building blocks, plus ceramic, tin and magnetic menorahs. Simple safety strip menorahs are another easy option for younger kids. Always light under adult supervision and set the menorah on a drip tray.
Many families light in the doorway, on the left side opposite the mezuzah, so the home is surrounded by mitzvos. Others light in a window facing the street to publicize the miracle. Place the menorah on a stable, heat-safe surface, away from curtains, and use a tray to catch drips. Follow your family custom, and ask your Rav about the ideal height and location.
Complete your menorah with a silver plated, marble or leather menorah tray, a tempered glass drip tray, a glass menorah box for lighting outside by the door, and an oil jug (kriegel) for neat pouring. See all Chanukah accessories.
A menorah is a lasting gift for a new couple, a new home, a bar mitzvah or a grandchild's first Chanukah. Silver plated and crystal menorahs make a keepsake for adults, while a themed children's menorah is a gift kids look forward to lighting every year. See more Chanukah gift ideas.
Nine: eight lights, one for each night of Chanukah, and the shamash used to light them.
Yes, for Chanukah. Chanukiah is the Hebrew name for the nine-light Chanukah menorah. The word menorah also refers to the seven-branch menorah of the Beis HaMikdash.
Place the candles from right to left, adding one each night. Light the shamash, say the brachos, then light the newest candle first, moving from left to right. Our step-by-step guide shows how to light a menorah.
Most candle menorahs fit standard Chanukah candles, sold in boxes of 44 or 45. Check the cup size on decorative menorahs, and choose a candle that fits snugly and stands straight.
Yes. Light before the Shabbos candles and add enough oil to burn until at least half an hour after nightfall. In 2026, the first and eighth nights of Chanukah fall on Friday.
Yes. We carry an outdoor LED menorah for lawns, shuls and storefronts, plus outdoor dreidel lights and light strings in our Chanukah items collection.
