Menorah Meme

Soccer Dad tagged me with the menorah meme. I know I'm a little bit late, but this is the first opportunity I had.

Here's my menorah on the final night of Chanukah:


The truth is, I don't have any great story about it. I've had it for a long time, I think it might have been a Bat Mitzvah gift. But some years I use it, some years I use others that I have (this was the one I could find this year).

I do, however, have special Shabbos candlesticks. And since the last night of Chanukah was also Shabbos this year, I took pics of those also.



The candlesticks in the front were a gift from my father for my 21st birthday, very shortly before I departed for a couple months in Israel. The pair in the back were a wedding gift to my great-grandmother. I would like to get them restored at some point, but I find them very special since they have been in the family and passed through several generations. And in general, I love looking at candles burning, so it makes my Shabbos very special to light them.

There ya go!
