The menorah is more than a decorative candle holder, it’s the heart of Chanukah. Each night, as we increase a candle, lighting the menorah reminds us of the miracle of the oil and the enduring spirit of Jewish tradition. There are not very many requirements for a kosher menorah, and most (although not all) menorahs on the market are just fine.
There are not very many requirements for a kosher menorah, and most (although not all) menorahs on the market are just fine. A menorah is not just a piece of metal or wood, it’s a ritual object with spiritual significance. According to Jewish law, the menorah must meet the following simple requirements:
Eight branches and one more, that is set apart from the rest, for the shamash (attendant) candle.
Equal height and symmetrical arrangement on an even level.
There is also a tradition in Judaism that items used to fulfil mitzvot (commandments) should be beautiful, and the creative craftsmanship of today’s menorahs reflects this idea. Choosing the right menorah is a balance of style, function and family needs, and Sabeny.com offers options for every household.

Both oil and candles are kosher for Chanukah, but many families prefer olive oil because it reflects the original miracle of the Menorah in the Beit HaMikdash (Holy Temple), where a small amount of oil burned for eight days. Candles are equally valid, convenient, and often safer for homes with children. Halacha requires that the Chanukah lights burn for at least 30 minutes after nightfall every night of Chanukah.
On Friday night, the lights must be lit before Shabbat begins, and they should be long-lasting enough to continue burning for at least 30 minutes into nightfall. Sabeny.com offers long-burning candles, oil cups and wicks that are suitable for this halachic requirement, making it easy to fulfil the mitzvah properly. At Sabeny.com, families trust us for fast and reliable delivery, especially as we get closer to the holiday.
