Menorah

The Menorah, is a seven-branched lampstand (candelabrum, candlestick), and one of the main symbols of Judaism. Not to be confused with the Hanukkah Menorah, a candelabrum with nine branches, eight branches plus one, the shamash, most of the times mobile, used on Hanukkah. Currently, the Menorah is a symbol of the State of Israel together with Star of David.

During the period of the Temple, a Menorah, full of olive oil, was permanently lit in the Temple of Jerusalem. It was placed at the left as the priest entered the Holy Place.
