Another traditional and upscale group of menorahs which also come by way of European history are our Hazorfim Sterling Silver Menorahs. Founded in Israel in 1952 and harnessing the skill and tradition of Eastern European émigré artisans, Hazorfim Silver has produced pieces that can be found in the private collections of King Hussein of Jordan and Vladimir Putin of Russia.

Another stately budget option, this engraved menorah definitely has that “wow factor,” as one reviewer wrote, while still being affordable. Overall, reviewers seem happy with this menorah, although one suggested lining the candle holders with foil to make cleaning easier.Every year, I tell myself I have enough menorahs. And every year, Hanukkah rolls around and I end up getting at least two or three new ones (and also making at least one DIY one). I can’t help it. I love a good menorah.

Possibly the definitive piece of Judaica, the Hanukkah menorah has since time immemorial been one of the decorative centerpieces of a Jewish home as well as one of the most popular outlets for the creative energies of Jewish artists and artisans. While it's not normally referred to as a "Jewish Menorah", no Jewish home is complete without one. Many families even have multiple Hanukkah menorahs, often one for each family member. The dinosaur menorah is now a Hanukkah classic and for good reason: it’s fierce, it’s grand and it’s beloved by kids like mine who will happily spew random facts about T-Rexes as they light it, like the fact that the carnivores probably honked, not roared. There are two banorahs — as in, banana menorahs — on this list, one in the budget section, and one in the way more expensive range. I would argue that the ultimate banorah costs less than a dollar and is made out of an actual banana. Either way, I love this yellow delight.
