<holidayfyi-glossary slug="menorah"></holidayfyi-glossary>A nine-branched candelabrum used during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, with eight branches for the eight nights of celebration and a ninth (the shamash) used to light the others. Each night of Hanukkah one additional candle is lit from right to left, commemorating the miracle of the Temple oil that burned for eight days. The menorah is publicly displayed to publicize the miracle.
