Frequently asked
What does the menorah symbolize in Hanukkah?
The menorah symbolizes the miracle of Hanukkah: when Jewish people rededicated their temple, they found only one day's worth of oil, yet it burned for eight days. The nine-branched menorah represents this miracle, with each candle lit on successive nights to commemorate the celebration and remember this important historical event.
Why does a menorah have nine branches instead of eight?
The ninth candle is called the shamash, meaning 'servant' in Hebrew. This helper candle is used to light all the other eight candles. It sits higher or lower than the others and is considered separate, which is why people light the other eight instead of nine during Hanukkah.
How old is the menorah tradition in Jewish history?
Menorahs have been used in Jewish tradition for thousands of years. The original menorah stood in the ancient Jewish temple in Jerusalem. Hanukkah itself celebrates events from over 2,100 years ago, making the menorah one of the oldest and most sacred symbols in Judaism.
