With Chanukah fast approaching, Chabad centers across the United States and around the world are preparing to usher in the holiday with the bright lights of the menorah. While there are specific guidelines regarding the menorah, you can make one out of almost anything. We found eight fantastic menorahs in America, and now you can find them, too.

1. Surfboard Menorah

Laguna Beach, Calif.

Chabad of Laguna Beach will kindle a menorah made of nine surfboards Sunday, Dec. 2. The event will include a DJ and dancing, latkes and gelt, a ventriloquist and crafts.

2. Can Menorah

Oxford, Ohio

Chabad at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, is fighting hunger with a can menorah, which will be kindled on Tuesday, Dec. 4. The cans of food will then be donated to a local food pantry.

3. Ice Menorah

Brookfield, Wis.

Chabad of Waukesha-Brookfield will carve a 5-foot ice menorah, which will be kindled on Sunday, Dec. 9. The event will also include a Firetruck Gelt Drop, facilitated by the local fire department’s hook-and-ladder truck, which will drop chocolate gelt for the excited participants.
