About the Item
This brass Hanukkah menorah, made in the United States around 1920, was likely a promotional item for the Yiddish newspaper Der Tog (The Day), a widely read publication among Jewish immigrants in New York. Many Jewish newspapers at the time offered gifts to subscribers, and this menorah may have been one such incentive.
The design features seven curved branches reminiscent of the biblical Temple Menorah, with the shamash in the form of a two-handled oil jug, referencing the cruse of pure oil from the Hanukkah story. A Star of David is prominently displayed at the center, reinforcing Jewish identity. The base is adorned with a striking lion motif, symbolizing the Lion of Judah, a traditional emblem of strength and heritage in Jewish art. The textured detailing on the branches and base adds to its artistic appeal.
Menorahs of this type have appeared in private collections and even in popular culture, such as the 2009 Coen Brothers film A Serious Man. This piece reflects not only Jewish religious tradition but also the cultural and immigrant experience of American Jews in the early 20th century.
