The Menorah
A broadly decorated menorah with symbols of the 12 Tribes of Israel and the 12 Hoshen Stones (Priestly Breastplate). Each stone in the breastplate represents a Tribe. Along the branches are beautiful motifs of Jerusalem. This menorah brings many important symbols onto one object. It is definitely interesting to view and will surly be noticed.

The menorah is a seven-branched candelabra and the oldest symbol of the Judaic faith. The design of this lampstand were given by God in Exodus 25:31-40. While most menorahs do not precisely follow the instructions in Exodus, the spirit of the design is in each menorah.
"The Menorah back in times of the temple is a seven-branched lampstand used in the temple of Jerusalem.
As described in the Bible it was made of pure gold. Set by Moses and primarily a portable lamp till set in the temple.
In order to light the branches of the menorah, the purest olive oil was used.

The Menorah is the symbol of the Israeli religion in ancient times and modern times.
In Exodus 25:31-40 - God instructs Moses how to form the Menorah.

The Menorah symbolizes universal enlightenment.
The Menorah is also associated with the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.
In the Talmud, the Menorah is related to the miracle of light. During the war with the Greeks, the little pure oil that was left enough for 1 day - lit the menorah for whole 8 days."
