Enhance your celebrations with this beautifully created Synagogues of Europe, charming-themed candle holder. This is a "Synagogues of Europe" Hanukkah menorah by artist Maude Weisser. The hand-painted ceramic or plaster piece depicts eight historic European synagogues with a ninth, central building as the shamash. Material: Heavy plaster or ceramic. Design: Each building is identified by a small plaque on the base. Purpose: Used during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah to hold eight candles plus the shamash (helper candle). Collectibility: The item is considered a collectible piece of Judaica Art Preowned-Candles do not come with the candleholder. The metal candleholders do come out in case you want to fill them with wax or just use them as a candle holder. When taking the pictures to show you, I used birthday candles. I’m pretty sure church candles would last longer than birthday candles, but birthday candles is an option. Box et29
