What a unique and useful idea!  This gorgeous interactive menorah features colorful cheerful Jerusalem scenes.  The menorah opens up for Hanukkah candle lighting, and for the rest of the year remains closed as a beautiful decoration on your mantel.  There are brass inserts for the candles.  The design was hand-painted with a brush using acrylic colors and then lacquered.  Vivid and harmonious colors characterize the hand-painted wood.

As this piece is covered with layers of lacquer, it is totally functional and waterproof and may be hand-washed.

This menorah fits standard Hanukkah candles. It is also appropriate for pre-filled gelled olive oil cups with diameter 2 cm / 0.8".

A free Hanukkah blessings pamphlet is included! Printed in both Hebrew and English for easy reading. Measuring 24 X 16.5 cm (9.4" X 6.5"), this beautiful laminated booklet will help everyone sing along! Includes the traditional blessings said after lighting Hanukkah candles, plus the famous tune Maoz Tzur!
