Hanukkah Menorah

[HairyChick]

I definitely want this in my new place! This way your menorah is cute but not screaming religion at you

The menorah (/məˈnɔːrə/; Hebrew: מְנוֹרָה‎ [mənoːˈɾaː]) is described in the Bible as the seven-lamp (six branches) ancient Hebrew lampstand made of pure gold and used in the portable sanctuary set up by Moses in the wilderness and later in the Temple in Jerusalem.

Hm. At Yeshiva I was taught it?s eight lights, which represents the eight days and nights the Jews had only a drop of oil. The oil lasted eight days and nights so we cook latkes in oil to remember.

I didn?t research it yet but I?ve never heard a different explanation.

(Amnesia episode: I nearly typed that I?d ask my father when he wheeled down the hall tomorrow to visit me. He was very, very Jewish-intellectual and gave lectures on Judaism.

I?m no longer in the nursing home (13 weeks) and my father died four years ago).

This is a new way to make a Khanukia, not a Menorah
