Modern menorot, menorot with less-traditional designs, are gaining in popularity with hundreds of new designs coming out since 2007. There are websites dedicated to celebrating the modern menorah. One popular type of modern menorah is the modular menorah: menorot made up of several different pieces which can be re-arranged each of the eight nights of Hanukkah.
