2004 marked the 25th anniversary celebration of the National Menorah coinciding with the formation of the National Menorah Council, which now enjoys support in 50 states. Governors of every state issued special Proclamations and Statements of Congratulations to mark their participation in that historic celebration.

​

Activities for the 35th anniversary (2014) included the development of a global Chanukah celebration, across all times zones, building on the successful “Chanukah Live” simultaneous intercontinental satellite transmissions of Chanukah celebrations, established in 1989 to mark that year’s celebrations of the 10th anniversary of the National Menorah.
