Menorahs
The Menorah light is supposed to be enjoyed. Gazing at the Menorah reminds us of the miracles of the Maccabees as well as those in daily life, including light itself. What better way to enjoy a menorah than with a one of a kind artistic creation from Another Bright Idea.

Chanukah menorah, also as a hanukkiah is a nine-branched candelabrum lit during the eight-day holiday of Chanukah. The ninth holder, called the shamash ("helper" or "servant"), is for a candle used to light all other candles and/or to be used as an extra light. The shamash must be offset on a higher or lower plane than the main eight candles.
How to Light a Chanukah Menorah:
On the first night of Chanukah, one candle (light bulb) is placed in the shamash and at the far right. Each night another candle (light bulbs) is lit. The candles (light bulbs) of the Chanukah Menorah are placed in the menorah from right to left, like the Hebrew language is read. The candles (light bulbs) are "lit" from left to right, to pay honor to the new things first. The candles (light bulbs) must be lit (turned on) and allowed to "burn" for one half hour after it has become dark. By the eighth night all nine lights will be lit.
