The Hunt Continues….

Today you can hunt for Miracles of Hanukkah Menorahs for a chance to win prizes; and you can shop all the promotions and sales offered in EtsyChai & Etsy Israel participating shops.  There’s still time to take advantage of all the specials … today. 

Team Work Across the Globe

How did the current EtsyChai & Etsy Israel joint Miracles of Hanukkah Contest and Sale promotion come to be?  Curious minds want to know!

“During an EtsyChai team meeting we talked about have a joint promotion with the Etsy Israel team because a few of us had seen and liked some of the handmade products in the Israeli shops. I contacted the team leader (at the time) about the possibility and she was open to it. A few of us attended an Etsy Israel team meeting to talk about it further and I went back to the EtsyChai team and talked about it. And, the union was born and the shop owners got as excited about it as I am.

Team EtsyChai is pleased to have some of these participants from Israel:

“What’s a Menorah? Just in case you don’t know: a menorah (or hannukiah) is a nine-branched candlestick used at Hanukah. Eight of the branches represent the miracle that a small pot of oil miraculously burned for eight days after the Temple was reclaimed and cleansed in the Hanukah story.  Today, during each day of the holiday, a candle is added each night to our modern menorahs, so there's one on the first night, two on the second…& so on… until eight on the eighth. The ninth branch is called the shamos, or helper, and is lit first to light the other candles, usually located in the middle, but sometimes on a side of the menorah.”  Leslie of  siragwatkins.etsy.com & leslietsy.etsy.com.
