Sometimes, presence is the most powerful gesture.
Stand By Me is a contemporary menorah crafted from your choice of solid walnut and maple, or cherry and maple. Rooted in tradition but quietly unconventional, this modern menorah is designed specifically for Hanukkah, balancing clean lines with heirloom-quality materials. It is made to be styled your way and passed down for generations.
Each wooden menorah is finished to a soft satin sheen and fitted with hand-polished copper candle cups. The main block, walnut or cherry, holds seven candle cups in a minimalist row and measures approximately 14 inches long, 2¼ inches tall, and 2 inches thick.
The maple shamash stands apart like a guiding light, rising 4 inches tall and 2¼ inches wide. A smaller walnut or cherry block allows you to display the ninth flame separately, giving the piece its distinctive, sculptural presence.
The result is a handmade wood menorah for Hanukkah that feels simple, modern, and meaningful, crafted to light the Festival of Lights with intention and warmth.
