Meaning
The menorah — the branched candelabrum that is one of the oldest symbols of Judaism. Strictly, the nine-branched version shown here is the hanukkiah, lit across the eight nights of Hanukkah with a ninth candle, the shamash, used to light the others. The seven-branched menorah is the older Temple symbol and the emblem of Israel. The distinction matters to those who use it.
How to use it
- First night of Hanukkah 🕎
- Nine branches, not seven — this is a hanukkiah 🕎
- Lighting the candles with the family 🕎
