The Lubavitch Center, 456 Pleasant Valley Way, in West Orange, has a gift store and more, with unique and creative choices, from casual to higher end. Chanukah socks, aprons and yarmulkes are cute and affordable. Lots of dreidels and games, too. Lubavitch Center Judaica also has gorgeous menorahs from Israel in sparkling crystal or rich color. All the supplies you need are here, including oil and beautiful candles.

If you get a little tired from shopping, stop in front of the store at Café Klarbucks, named for the Center’s director, Rabbi Klar. Here you can sit by the newly installed fireplace and savor a complimentary cappuccino and cookies.

You know all those giant menorahs you see outside in public places? Most come from www.menorah.net, a project of the Lubavitch Center. Rabbi Klar said he is one of the only sources in the world for large menorahs, and he is continually getting orders from municipal officials. Think of the Lubavitch Center if you attend a public Chanukah-lighting ceremony this year! Visit https://www.chabadofessex.com  for gifts and go to www.menorah.net to see a complete selection of indoor and outdoor menorahs.
