This year, Hanukkah begins on December 25. It may seem far away, but the time to fill your home with light is just around the corner. We’ve scoured the Internet to find contemporary spins on the classic menorah, the nine-branch candelabra lit during Hanukkah that's more formally known as a “chanukiah.” It features nine branches: eight to represent each night of the holiday and the shamash (“helper”) to light the rest.
