Gorgeous stuff! Only quibble - while it looks great, the thrift store menorah (technically, Chanukkiyah, if it has nine branches) isn't kosher - all of the candles have to be level, aside from the centre one (the shamash). But as a display, it looks great!
I am not Jewish, but love the menorah idea as a tribute to other religious holidays....
