Menorah

The Menorah is a seven-branched candelabrum that is significant in Jewish tradition and religious practice. It originally stood in the ancient Temple in Jerusalem and symbolizes the light of God and the Jewish mission to be a light unto the nations. Today, the Menorah is often associated with Hanukkah, where a nine-branched version, called the Hanukkiah, is used to commemorate the miracle of oil in the Temple. The Menorah serves as an important religious symbol, representing faith, freedom, and resilience throughout Jewish history.
