Verdict: KOSHER (biblical menorah standards)
Verdict: KOSHER
aaaand my last one!
we have determined that this menorah is not kosher specifically because nothing is burning. other than that, it seems halachically okay I think (@is-the-menorah-kosher could probably fact check that for me!)
to address some questions in the notes and my ask box:
- I cannot think of a chemical reaction that meets the burning requirement, the 30 minute rule, and the fire safety code. UV is our best bet, and it doesn't need electricity to stay lit for 30 minutes like LED menorahs. (incandescents are also on the fire hazard ban list along with candles.)
- I will try and find the files for the frame so people can 3D print/laser cut their own--mine was made at a library makerspace :)
- g-d does not care whether I light a kosher menorah. I care about observing the mitzvot, even if all i can manage is symbolically or mostly halachic. if ur not jewish pls don't send me asks about how g-d loves me u sound like a proselytizing xtian
- do not drink the contents of the test tube; it is not liquid anymore and is also UV paint. do not eat them either. it is still paint and would also contain crunchy crunchy glass shards.
thank yall for the lovely reactions to the test tube menorah. i'm so glad everyone enjoys it as much as I do, and it was a joy to celebrate with you. chanukah sameach! may our darkest days be full of light. <3
Yes, if the candles had been made from oil or wax it would be kosher!
if i fill these glass tubes with oil or wax would it be kosher?
well, the oil or wax also needs to be burning
does your school have a hillel or chabad? they might have a communal candle-lighting in a location where it's allowed
What Starlight said ^
For decorative, non "kosher" purposes, I think the UV paint is a better nod to the burning of the candles. If you wanted to mix in oil or wax for next year's batch, it would be another nod to the halachic ideal but still not a proper chanukiah. For ideal fulfillment of the mitzvah, you should probably find a space where you could light candles.
Still very cool though, a clever way to beautify the holiday in your own space even if you end up lighting elsewhere.

More than 8 candles + shamash
Candle holders not level
One of the candles is not even in a holder it's just straight up floating
Too many kosher menorot/chanukiot out there. Send me your real freak candelabra
I need to share this cursed thing
Verdict: NOT KOSHER
Shamash level with candles
Made out of human flesh?
@is-the-menorah-kosher it's a 7-candle menorah, so all 7 should be the same height, yes? still definitely Not a kosher chanukiyah though!
You're right, I didn't count! Would be kosher by biblical menorah standards, aside from the human flesh – normally I would write that off as it being a depiction of flesh and not the real thing, but the mug makes it look like the arms are metal while the base is decidedly not

happy chanukah from the dorm/fire-safe test tube menorah!
not technically kosher because they are not candles and do not stay lit independently for at least 30 minutes, but i'm not allowed to have open flames.
the candles are glass vials coated with uv paint. i "charge" them by leaving them under a uv light strip, and they glow for several minutes afterwards. (the longer i charge, the brighter/longer they glow).
the frame is wood cut on a laser cutter, but i could theoretically use a real menorah with a little bit of wax/putty to stick them in.
i have blue, green, and yellow candles. the yellow are the brightest by a lot! there's a reason most glow-in-the-dark things are that specific yellow-green i guess.
i could make more colors if i wanted, i'd just need to find uv paint or resin to do it with.
Verdict: NOT KOSHER
For the reasons op laid out
Happy first night of Hanukkah!

from webkinz so not a real menorah but I can’t stop thinking about this
Verdict: NOT KOSHER
Candle holders at different heights
Candles not arranged in a straight line
amy reichert, water blossom menorah, brass and hand-blown glass
According to Jewish tradition, the original temple menorah was made of gold, almond-blossom-shaped cups. This modern riff on that design inspiration sets an array of almond blossoms in a shallow pool of water. The pool both reflects the candlelight, and provides a dramatic and safe way for the candles to sizzle out as they burn down

This was covered last year but for you I will reiterate
Verdict: NOT KOSHER
Candle holders are not level
The menorah is alive made out of soft/fire-vulnerable material
The Hormonukiah, a functional menorah made out of testosterone bottles by Minneapolis-based trans Jewish artist Levi Moos.
