My family's always done the hairdryer & cloth/paper towel thing, but that's a giant PITA and destroys your hands, so this year I'm trying the freezer. I'll let you know how it goes.

challenge for designers of “creative menorahs”: make it kosher

#it’s bananas to charge $280 for a nonkosher chanukiah #I could understand it an in art gallery but they seem to find it as a genuinely good product for people to use as their chanukiah #jumblr #chanukah #chanukiah

for the hanukah ask thing 🕎

We have a lot of cool menorahs! I’m in dorms rn so I had my father send me some.

His favorite:

My mom bought this one for him in Israel while they were dating, it’s supposed to look like the western wall.

Coolest for obvious reasons:

This is technically my brother’s, and was a bar mitzvah gift from family friends who made it. The backings are the moon phases corresponding to the nights of Chanukah. The family friend has made a few of this design, including one currently in the collection of the pope.

My favorite:

The candles light the flame up, which is glass. Looks very cool in the dark. This one was a gift to my parents for their wedding.

Also honorable mention to the cheap mass manufacture one that my rabbi from home sent to me along with a dreidel kit and some gelt!

Please tell me there's a Tumblr that exists only to reblog posts with Chanukiahs/Chanukah Menorahs and identifies if they're kosher or not, and if not, then why.

ghostie arduino chanukiah

for xanuka this year, i made a little electronic chanukiah that i want to share! i know i’m not the only person who can’t do flame-based candles for some reason or another.

this chanukiah is an online simulation that you can run in any web browser, and it is, in my grandiose and objectively correct opinion, better than any other electric chanukiah out there right now.

lots of electric chanukiot do a decent job at emulating the visual appearance of a flame-based chanukiah. the goal with this project was to emulate not only the 🕎visual appearance🕎 of a chanukiah, but also the 🔥ritual experience🔥 of lighting the candles and watching them burn.

some neat features of the ghostie arduino chanukiah:

- candle representation: each candle is represented by a stack of LED lights, and you can make the candles any color you want! if you can express it with a hex code, it’s a valid candle color. there’s also two bonus gradient patterns.

- lighting the candles: you press a button to light the shamash, then you light each candle that you want by moving a slider that lights up its light sensor.

- watching the candles burn: after a candle is lit, the top LED begins to flicker like a flame! and after that, the candle slowly and semi-randomly begins to burn down- the top LED goes dark, and the next one in the stack begins to flicker, and so on, until the light goes out at the bottom of the stack.

- clean up: all the candles will burn out on their own over the course of 30-ish minutes(plus or minus like, 20. i should really optimize the burn pattern a little, lol). after that, you can stop the simulation and reset it for the next night.

it works great on both mobile and desktop, so put it on whatever device you want. a note for mobile users: instructions for use are in the “code” tab, on the top right!

By LEE HARPIN

A London council has decided not to allow a chanukiah to be erected outside its town hall to commemorate the full eight days of Chanukah over fears it could inflame tensions between local communities.

Jewish News understands the leader of Havering Council in East London made the “highly sensitive” decision not to allow the installation due to the increase in hate crime in the borough following the 7 October Hamas terror attacks.

Instead, the council has recommended “a temporary installation” along with an “event to celebrate the beginning of Chanukah”.

It is understood that local Chabad Rabbi Aryeh Sufrin had committed to lighting the menorah, while there was also a reception planned at Romford Synagogue on 12 December.

Local Romford MP Andrew Rosindell had written to Havering Council leader Ray Morgon expressing “grave concern” over any move to halt the Chanukah celebration. In a letter seen by Jewish News, he adds: “Should this be true it would be a grave insult to Jewish communities in Romford.”

Havering Council

A leaked email seen by Jewish News reveals Havering Council, which which has no single party in overall control but is led by Havering Residents Association, admits taking “the difficult decision to pause the planned installation of the Chanukah menorah outside Havering Town Hall this year”.

It adds: “This is a hugely sensitive issue but in light of escalating tensions from the conflict in the Middle East installing the candelabra now will not be without risk to the council, our partners, our staff and local residents.”

Confirming plans for a temporary installation the email warns about concerns over “possible vandalism or other action against the installation”.

Worryingly it confirms “an increase in the number of hate crimes” in the borough “both towards the Jewish and Muslim community”. It adds: ”After consulting with the leader of the council we believe it would be unwise to move forward with the installation which could risk further inflaming tensions.”

The email from Havering Council rejects claims of “antisemitism” by those it accuses of “politicising” the decision. It notes that Havering Council flew the Israeli flag in “solidarity” after the “heinous”  Hamas terror attacks.

Among those to have raised concerns about the decision to halt the chanukiah installation is Andrew Rosindell, the MP for Romford. In his letter of 24 November, he states that in his view “this is a matter of religious freedom and has nothing to do with  current affairs in the Middle East”.

He adds:”It is imperative that we collectively show support for the British Jewish community” and that it would be “a grave disappointment” to see menorahs erected “all over Essex, Redbridge and North London with Havering being the outlier.”

Jewish News has approached Havering Council leader Morgon for comment.

CW: antisemitism mention.

Something I can’t stop thinking about lately is a talk that my spouse and I had back on December 18th, the first night of Chanukkah...you see, we had two Chanukkiah, or Chanukkah Menorah - the lamps with the eight candles plus the one helper candle that you light. You’re supposed to have one per person in your household. And you’re supposed to put at least one in the window where the most people can see it if you can. It IS “The Festival of Lights” after all, right?

The issue that we had, though, was how visibly Jewish did we want to appear to the public? Because we had to consider the high rate of antisemitic hate crimes in the area. We could put one in the window facing the apartment courtyard…which we did do for the first 2 nights. But then not a whole lot of people would see it.

So on the third night, we decided to switch it to our main front window that faces the street. We came to the conclusion that it would be okay since our building in particular has security cameras outside the building. And because we just didn’t want to have that feeling of living in fear.

I think what really was the deciding factor was when we went out to go get the mail earlier that evening together and we looked up and saw our neighbors Christmas tree in their window. And we realized that they don’t have to worry about this kind of thing. Not even a little bit.

To some people it might seem silly - a tiny little Chanukkiah in the window of an apartment window slowly gaining a light over the course of eight days. But to those who know and who understand the real stories and history of Chanukkah…those lights mean so much more. Those lights mean resilience. They mean hope in the darkness.
