Menorah

[[ The Hanukkah menorah ( Hebrew : מנורת חנוכה m'noraht khanukkah, pl. menorot ) (also Hebrew : חַנֻכִּיָּה ‎ hanukiah , or chanukkiyah , pl. hanukiyot / chanukkiyot , or Yiddish : חנוכּה לאמפּ khanike lomp , lit. : Hanukkah lamp) is, strictly speaking, a nine-branched candelabrum lit during the eight-day holiday of Hanukkah, as opposed to the seven-branched menorah used in the ancient Temple or as a symbol. The ninth holder, called the shamash ("helper" or "servant"), is for a candle used to light all other candles. The menorah is among the most widely produced articles of Jewish ceremonial art . The seven branched menorah is a traditional symbol of Judaism , along with the Star of David . [1] ]]
