Menorah

Objects · Rituals · Traditions

The seven-branched lampstand of Israelite sanctuary speech, and later Hanukkah lamps of other counts. Not the generic lamp, and not every branched candlestick.

  • Menorah is historically related to Temple.

    JE MENORAH seats the Mosaic holy candelabrum made for the Tabernacle and later placed in the Temple (with Solomon’s menorot), not a Hanukkah chanukiah and not the synagogue perpetual lamp alone.

    from Isidore Singer et al. · The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1901–1906
