The menorah is a significant symbol in Judaism, particularly during the festival of Hanukkah. It is an eight-branched candelabrum, with an additional holder for the shamash (the helper candle used to light the others). During Hanukkah, Jews light one candle on the first night and add an additional candle each subsequent night, reciting blessings and prayers. The menorah is often displayed prominently in homes and public spaces to celebrate the miracle of the oil and the rededication of the Second Temple.
