Each year, as the first Hanukkah candle flickers to life, countless hearts turn toward Jerusalem. The city glows, and the Western Wall – its stones worn smooth by centuries of touch – seems to breathe with the prayers of generations.

From that spirit comes this extraordinary Hanukkiah, The Western Wall Hanukkiah, designed by Chen Taoz, an artist whose work bridges light and faith. Crafted from textured metal, it captures the sacred stillness of the Kotel: the deep crevices between its stones, the soft silhouettes of men, women, and children who come to whisper prayers into its walls.

When you light it, something remarkable happens – the brass gleams like the setting sun over Jerusalem, and the small figures below seem to come alive. Their shadows stretch and merge with your own, as if you too are standing among them, a part of their timeless hope.

Above the wall, two lions of Judah face one another – symbols of courage, resilience, and the everlasting strength of Jerusalem. 

Every detail speaks of beauty and belonging: a reminder that even from afar, the light you kindle joins a thousand others across the world, carrying the same ancient faith.

“For the Lord shall comfort Zion; He will comfort all her waste places, and He will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.”
— Isaiah 51:3
