Maccabee's Kosher Deli on Polk Boulevard in Des Moines invites people of all faiths to help them light the menorah on all eight nights. The first one is Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. Hot latkes or doughnuts are served every night.

However, landlords can include a ban on all candles in lease agreements, considering them a safety hazard, according to ApartmentSearch.com. That means your lease could be terminated if you decide to light and display your menorah — or other types of candles, like birthday candles and scented candles — in your apartment.
