One of the oldest symbols of the Jewish faith is the menorah, a seven-branched candelabrum used in the Temple. The kohanim lit the menorah in the Sanctuary every evening and cleaned it out every morning, replacing the wicks and putting fresh olive oil into the cups.
It has been said that the menorah is a symbol of the nation of Israel and our mission to be "a light unto the nations."
Here are some examples of beautiful modern Menorahs... Which one is your favorite?
