This holiday season I will be featuring an assortment of Candelabras and Judaic items. Many of my menorahs are already sold, but my designs are standardized and I can turn around an order in about 1-2 weeks, this time of year. Things can get busy quickly, though. So, place your orders now.

Sincerely,

Andrew Jackson Pollack
