Judaica Oil Menorah Hanukkah Vintage Morocco Wall Hang

like it says...it's a decorative wall hanger....maybe from Morocco ....

 

Thanks so much,I didn't know what it was.

 

s'ok......it's a Jewish thing.....I can't help but know.!

 

Not too many menorahs made in Morocco I'll wager

 

you mean, today !

but yesterday.........

Moroccan Jews constitute an ancient community. Before the founding of Israel in 1948, there were about 250,000 to 350,000 Jews[1] in the country, which gave Morocco the largest Jewish community in the Muslim world, but by 2017 only 2,000 or so remain

 

I so love that wonderful information!!

 

It’s an oil menorah, used for hannukah. They used to all be oil but then candles were introduced. However, oil ones continued to be made for those who keep the tradition of using oil. The style looks 60’s Israel to me, though it could be from another middle eastern country.

 

It helps to read the whole thread...before posting...

 

The listing said “maybe from Morocco”. I think it’s also possible that it’s from Israel. I have seen many similar ones there.

 

Perhaps when they moved from Morocco to Israel they took their menorahs with them.

 

Then by all means show us photo's of the similar one's you're talking about.....
