Stone Hanukkah lamp with additional cavity for used wicks. Yemen, 1930s. Steatite (soapstone), carved. L: 15; H: 4 cm.

The use of stone – a material “which is not susceptible to impurity” – in the making of Hanukkah lamps represents the vestiges of an ancient practice. Stone symbolizes time, tradition, and nobility. The choice of stone rather than shiny metal also stemmed from reasons of modesty, to avoid antagonizing the Arab neighbors. For the same reason, the exteriors of Jewish houses in Yemen were made to look humble, and Jewish women would wear jewelry mainly at home or conceal it under the folds of their garments. At times, the names of the owners or craftsmen would be inscribed on the lamps. These were in all likelihood made by a family patriarch, and were then handed down from one generation to the next. Such practices of inheritance were customary among Yemenite Jews, as well as among the Jews of southern Morocco. x

Adore your large (wrought iron?) Hanukkiah! The one with little oil flasks. Is it possible to buy one like it?

Thank you!

I think it’s actually bronze or brass, my dad picked it up at a Judaica store -I think- years ago, and I started using it after I gifted him a (IMO nicer) new one when I spent a year in Israel.

The lamps though are pretty easy, there’s a company called Ner Mitzva (looks like they also sell different cup styles individually, I usually just get the Hannuka set).

Personally I prefer the rounder ones that remind me of a pomegranate but they weren’t in stock at my local shop when I bought mine this year.
