Thanks!

I’ve been told it might not be completely kosher, since the shamus is below, rather than above, the other candles. But I love it, and don’t care.

Beautiful!

FWIW, I have a photo blog on Blogger that’s probably not the highest res but fine for my family/friends who don’t use Facebook, and I can link photos to here just fine.

Not the fanciest, and in my rather utilitarian kitchen, but I feel like there’s an aura of family with using an heirloom.

It’s interesting just how many forms menorahs take, isn’t it?

Here is another one. The shamus started to melt and leaned over. For a while its flame merged with the other one. Then enough burned off that what was left was straight and finished in the usual way.
