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 and/or to be used as an extra light.
The menorah is among the most widely produced articles
of Jewish ceremonial art. The eight-branched menorah
is a traditional symbol of Judaism, along with the
Star of David. |
