Chanukah Menorah

The Chanukah menorah, also called a Hanukkiah, is a special candleholder used during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. It has nine branches: eight for each night of the holiday, and a central one called the shamash (helper) used to light the others. Each night, one additional candle is lit, commemorating the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days in the Holy Temple. The menorah is typically displayed prominently, symbolizing faith and perseverance, and is used during nightly rituals to remember and celebrate this historical event.
