Hanukkah, also called the Feast of Lights, is a joyous annual special day for the Jewish community that can be celebrated with beautiful decorations to make the mood even more festive. The decorations available for a Hanukkah celebration vary in quality from pieces of high quality to tacky. It is possible to select nice pieces from those available. And the type of decorations varies to centerpieces, ornaments, lights and more.
The color scheme is blue, or blue and white. Symbols used include the dreidel, the menorah, and the Star of David.
Most of these decorations can be used for other occasions as well. If it is your intention to use some decorations for other occasions, you should select pieces that do not have the work Hanukkah on them.

Derdriu, I have no idea. The candy coins were listed as possible products, and I needed a way to incorporate the cup since I have the right to show its image. I am not Jewish, so I did not get to the food and drink. what I do know is there are Orthodox, reformed, and Conservative versions of the Jewish faith, although the more strict would claim only one. In fact, we have a Hasidic synagogue nearby, which is extremely strict. So, food and drink would for some, the more observant forms of the Jewish faith, have to be kosher, and that includes not mixing meat and dairy products. what I am hoping is Jewish writers here write on the meanings of the items used, other feasts, and especially the food and drink. The research would be more than I have time to do, but would welcome and read such articles. My goal was to remain respectful, and show what I could.
Veronica, I thought this was an area where not many articles were written, so I looked up products. The ones shown are what looked best, and it was like writing a Christmas article. I wish I knew more about the feasts. I would think the items not marked Hanukkah would also work for the Feast of Booths, and perhaps Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah, but I am uncertain.
blackspanielgallery, Thank you for the practicalities and products.
Blue and white combines so beautifully. Can you think of any food that could be served that is authentic and that mixes blue and white?
You mention candy in cups and gold foil-wrapped chocolates in nets: Is the former the same as the latter, or is it a different kind of candy altogether?
What would be served to drink?
What an absolutely beautiful page. I love this story about this Jewish festival. IT's a story which always catches the imagination of my young pupils.
I have not seen these Hanukkah decorations before.
thank you .
