menorah

Seven-branched candlestick symbolizing Judaism and the state of Israel. The lowest candle, the shummash or ‘servant’, is used to light the others. A nine-branched version, the hanukkiah, is used during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah.

The hanukkiah commemorates the occasion when the lamp in the Temple of Jerusalem stayed alight for eight days on one day's supply of oil; eight of its candles represent the days, and the ninth candle is the shummash.
