Show us your menorah! How celebs celebrate Hanukkah

As if there weren’t enough choices to make already — paper or plastic? PC or Mac? — Hanukkah observers have yet another: electric or candle?

We’re talking menorahs, those nine-branched candelabras representing the oil lamp that burned for eight days instead of one, giving the Maccabees strength to carry on.

As this year’s Festival of Lights kicked off Tuesday night, we’ve asked New Yorkers to show us their menorahs.

Getting Goofy (Harvey Fierstein)

“I either got this back when they were opening all those Disney stores in the mall, or from the Disney catalog. I also have a ceramic [menorah] that’s of Hasidic people: the center’s the rabbi and on one side are women dancing together, and on the other four men dancing. I found our family’s old plastic menorah, but I’m scared to light that one. It might explode!”
Harvey Fierstein’s “Kinky Boots” and “Newsies” are now touring the country.

A high-kicking Hanukkah (Rockette Megan Levinson)

“My roommate Emily and I went to Israel last summer and found this menorah. There are other Jewish Rockettes in the line — it’s a very diverse cast and crew. I’m going to bring a dreidel and some Hanukkah gelt. Everyone’s so excited!”
Megan Levinson and the other Rockettes star in “The Radio City Christmas Spectacular” through Dec. 31.

The more, the merrier (Jackie Hoffman)

“I have four menorahs: one electric, three acoustic. The electric one always goes in, and we try to do one acoustic, but that’s a lot of candles for eight nights! The solid silver one came from a director and another performer, and the other two — a very kitschy lion and a standard one — were pilfered from my parents’ home in various years. I think the electric one was a drugstore purchase. When I lived in Chicago and went to a Walgreens and asked for a menorah, they didn’t know what I was talking about!”
Jackie Hoffman, now in Broadway’s “On the Town,” starred in years past in “A Chanukah Charol.”

The Jewish Giant (football’s Geoff Schwartz)

“My family has always done candles. My mom bought me a menorah for the first Hanukkah after I left college, and my wife and I registered for one for our wedding. We just had a son in July, and we got a third menorah for him. Obviously, he won’t have any idea what’s going on this year, but it’ll be fun to look at the pictures later and explain.”

Geoff Schwartz, shown here with his parents and grandparents in 1986, is an offensive lineman for the NY Giants. He’ll be at the Jewish Museum’s Hanukkah party Wednesday night.

Christmukkah for two (Broadway’s Jarrod Spector and Kelli Barrett)

“I just got married and my wife is Christian, so we do a Christmukkah thing. I celebrated Hanukkah religiously, forgive the pun, as a kid, but as I got older, I fell away. Kelli is more disciplined in her spirituality and wanted to celebrate both holidays with me. She went out and bought this menorah, with printouts of the [candle-lighting] prayers in phonetics . . . This menorah represents more than Hanukkah — it’s a rekindling for me, and a wonderful new tradition. And my Christmas stocking has a menorah stitched into it!”
Tony nominee Jarrod Spector stars in “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical”; Kelli Barrett’s been cast as Lara in Broadway’s upcoming “Doctor Zhivago.”

No muss, no fuss (Isaac Mizrahi)

“The closest thing I come to having an actual menorah is the one in the lobby of my apartment building. It gives me a real satisfaction, a superwarm fuzzy feeling, to be confronted with Hanukkah every time I step off the elevator. I love observing the holiday in this indirect, communal way, and I love a menorah that functions without the mess of dripping wax. Much like the plastic Christmas tree in my lobby — all the cheer, no needles or mess!”
Designer Isaac Mizrahi is a judge on Lifetime’s “Project Runway All Stars.”

Hard-core traditionalist (Matisyahu)

“I use a menorah that uses real oil as opposed to candles. I will eat lobster on Yom Kippur before using an electric one — LOL. Hanukkah is about that last drop of oil, which is pure even after the temple is invaded — no matter how far a person goes down or how much darkness they find themselves in, there is always an untouched pure place in their soul.”
Matisyahu’s annual Festival of Light tour touches down at the Best Buy Theater on Saturday.

Hey, it’s a tradition! (Rachel Dratch)

“I don’t know what to tell you about this menorah. I somehow inherited it — no one died, but it somehow followed me on my travels. Growing up, I had a lot of cousins, so we had a lot of Hanukkah parties. We’re having a little party with some friends . . . My son’s father is Catholic, so we’re trying to juggle two things here: Santa and latkes.”
Rachel Dratch, the former Debbie Downer of “SNL,” stars in off-Broadway’s “Tail! Spin!” through Jan. 4.

Family guy (Steve Guttenberg)

“My mom bought this menorah a few years ago. It lights up and plays ‘Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel.’ It’s been in our family for a while, so we have all these family pictures around it. We actually have a few menorahs — we have electric, we have candles. I love to light them with my dad. I’ve always been a family guy. Everything else is replaceable, except the family.”
Steve Guttenberg (“Diner,” “Police Academy”) recently wrote a YA novel, “The Kids from D.I.S.C.O.”
