44 Hanukkah Candles from Israel - Per Box

R. Thomas: I did not get to use them this year so I can’t comment on their longevity. I purchased the multi colored ones. A great price. They fit in my menorah, which I just purchased this year. I would purchase again.

Helen Boro: I thought I had Chanukah candles. I found out 2 days before the first night of Chanukah that I didn't. They are not available in my area. This seller got them to me in 2 days as promised. They are nice candles. They look pretty and don't drip much. Also very affordable.

Patti Wheetman: These candles are colorful and burn very good with a lovely, bright flame! They were dripless for the first 6 nights but for some reason the wax dripped heavy on night 7. Maybe they need to be kept cold to keep from dripping? All in all I am very pleased with them!

Anon: The product you will receive does NOT match the images shown - with the images shown being a respected brand that I even remember from my childhood. The product you receive WILL be made in China, DESPITE the title of the product saying that the candles are made in Israel! The cheeky sellers even place a sticker on the box saying "Made in Israel", whereas the words "Made in China" are found on the box itself not 180 degrees away!

Not only that, but the product itself is complete rubbish! Inconsistent wicks, burn times, and base size - meaning that half the candles didn't even fit! I expect at least one cracked candle out of a box every year - this box had at least four!

Stay as far away as you can from this product! Never before have I felt so ripped off by a purchase from Amazon before! I'm envious of the positive reviewers who clearly got the real deal, since there's no way that they would have written a positive review if they got this lying, rubbish substitute!

Dan Dreifort: If you’re an old fart, these are very much like the candles you probably used when you were a kid. There are definitely better candles out there, but these are classic and far from expensive. They don’t last long, if longevity is what you’re going for, which wouldn’t be altogether ironic for Hanukkah.

I’ll probably try something different when these run out in another year

Meir: I normally wouldn't review something as routine as a box of candles, but my coreligionists have put me in a corner. I assume that the primary, if not exclusive, purchasers of Hanukkah candles are fellow Jews. Why else would someone buy these candles? So with that as prelude, I was flummoxed and a bit aghast at the number of complaints.

They're candles. For Hanukkah. It's like $5 for a box, once a year. You light them, they burn, 30 minutes later, it's over. As long as they light and then go out, they've done their job.

How can you really complain about Hanukkah candles, especially at this price?

FYI, I've used them now for the first two nights of Hanukkah. They lit fine, they burned as long as you'd expect, they didn't fall apart, they didn't explode, they didn't throw wax across the room in the shape of a swastika (as some of the negative reviews would have you believe...well, ok, not to that extreme, but still).

Trust me, my fellow Hebrews, you can rest assured that these Hanukkah candles are a fine value and of excellent quality (to the extent a bit of wax and wick can be made with quality).
