The Menorah candelabrum or Hanukkiyah, is used in the Jewish culture during Hanukkah, December 21-28. In honoring each of the 8 days during Hanukkah candles are lit for several hours and often the Menorah is rested in a window sill so that those who pass by can be reminded of this holy time. The 9th candle, or the taller one in the middle above the others is called a Shamash. It is the "helper candle," the one used to light the others.

Beautifully done, and I appreciate the lesson on the Menorah too.
I've always thought they're so beautiful...
