They didn’t just want to kill us. They wanted to erase us. Erase our language, our God, our history, our future. That was the Greek agenda. That’s the agenda now.
And that’s why the menorah matters.
It’s not about tradition. It’s not about culture. The menorah is a sign of war—spiritual and physical. A symbol of the refusal to become what the world wants us to be: silent, assimilated, erased.
So if you're wondering whether you should own a menorah, here's a better question: why wouldn’t you?
The Menorah Is a Statement of Defiance
When people picture Hanukkah, they think dreidels and donuts. But the real story is violent, bloody, and political. The Greeks weren’t trying to kill Jews—they were trying to kill Judaism. They wanted Jews to become like them. Abandon Sabbath. Ban circumcision. Rename the God of Israel.
It worked on most of the population. Most of the Jews went along with it. They thought it was safer, more modern. Less... extreme.
But a few didn’t break.
The Maccabees picked up swords and fought. Not for survival, but for holiness. They recaptured the desecrated Temple in Jerusalem, found one small flask of pure oil, and lit the menorah. That light burned for eight days—and we’ve been lighting it ever since.
So no, the menorah isn’t a cute holiday centerpiece. It’s a symbol of resistance. Against assimilation. Against godlessness. Against the pressure to be anything less than what God commanded us to be.
The Menorah Is Still Relevant—Now More Than Ever
Look around. Anti-Israel riots in Western cities. Terrorists being glorified. Synagogues under attack. Politicians pretending they don’t know what Hamas is. And yet somehow, we’re the ones expected to stay quiet. To stay humble. To “not make it political.”
But the menorah is political. It always was.
It says: we were here before you, and we’ll be here after you. It says: our identity isn’t up for negotiation. It says: we are not afraid.
Lighting a menorah in your home—especially today—is a public stand. It doesn’t matter if you're Jewish or Christian. If you believe in the God of Israel, then you’re already a part of the story the menorah tells. And that story is not over.
A Menorah in Your House Is a Line in the Sand
A menorah in your home sends a message. To your neighbors. To your kids. To the people you invite over. It says you believe in light, in covenant, in history. It says you’re not intimidated by people who hate truth.
Zechariah saw a vision of a menorah surrounded by olive trees—symbols of God’s eternal relationship with Israel. And God said:
“Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit.” (Zechariah 4:6)
The menorah isn't powered by politics or PR. It’s powered by the Spirit of God.
So if you’re sitting in your safe, quiet house in Texas, or London, or Sydney, wondering what you can do to stand with Israel—this is it. Start with light. Start with truth. Start with the menorah.
If you’re going to make a statement, make it loud.
Shop our Menorah now
Let your house be a house of light. Because they wanted to erase us—and we’re still here.

I woke up this morning the 1st thing I heard was “Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit.” I kid you not! I believe this is a sign we too should own a Menorah to go along with the Shofar I’ve owned for so many years. I’m currently writing my 2nd book The Spirit of Christian’s Past – An Old Testament Study of God’s Holy Spirit. My 1st book is Door to the Spirit – A Deep Dive Study of God’s Holy Spirit. I’ve planned to have the 2nd book published and released by Yom Kippur 2025. God Bless Israel FOREVER, Amen.
I bought my menora 17 years ago during a visit to krakow Poland and after visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau, in support of the Jewish people our brothers and sisters!
I am a Christian in true love and liking for the Jews, Israel and Judaism. I believe that I will be in Israel on a visit to the Holy Land. I want to get the Menorah here in Nigeria.
Any true born again Christian stands with the Jewish people. I think more would if teaching wasn’t so poor to pathetic. The menorah is made from beaten gold. Surely the spiritual significance is, despite all the beatings from others and Gods hand, comes beauty? Gold is pure and so malleable it can be beaten to shape ( and won’t fracture) like the Jewish people, and all who are in the hands of the one true God! Beauty with 7 (Godly completion) that emits light. That’s my thoughts
Hi There
I’m living on the canary islands in Spain. And I tried already to support Israel by buying goods with Lev Haolam organisation. It was a desaster. Only two of six orders came through the barrage, Spain had erected. Each time Spanish customs found a reason to reject the sending an return it to sender… So if I order something in this shop, will it be different?
I am a Christian who loves Israel. I am going to get a Menorah because what is happening right now is a spiritual battle and I want one to stand in battle with Israel and the Jewish people. Your fight is ours also!
Shalom, When I embraced my Hebrew Roots in 1995 the Menorah was the first thing I bought!
Please how can i get the menorah I’m a Nigerian and reside in Abuja the capital of Nigeria
I am a born-again Christian and stand with Israel and their right to their homeland Israel and is the land of Israel and the Jewish people., April 1, 2025
Understanding what the Menorah means, I would like to purchase one as my way of standing with Israel and her people
