The Hanukkah menorah (Hanukkah lamp) is a nine-branched candelabrum lit during the eight-day holiday of Hanukkah, as opposed to the seven-branched menorah used in the ancient Temple (Exodus ch.25) or as a symbol.The ninth holder, called the shamash ("helper" or "servant"), is for a candle used to light all other candles and/or to be used as an extra light.The menorah is among the most widely produced articles of Jewish ceremonial art.The menorah is often displayed in public around Hanukkah time (in December or late November).The seven-branched menorah has been a traditional symbol of Judaism for centuries, along with the Star of David.The lamp is most commonly called a "Hanukkah menorah," or simply "menorah" for short; and in Modern Hebrew it is called a chanukkiyah, while the Hebrew word menorah is used to mean "lamp."Since 1979, the White House has been represented at the lighting of a national menorah in celebration of Hanukkah.

I say Chanukah! It is a fun Jewish family holiday. Lighting the Menorah with your family standing around nibbling on Latkes, and then playing dreidel as white sparkling snow falls outside your window. Or eating jelly filled donuts while singing "Maotz Tzur" or "Chanukah Oh Chanukah, Come Light the Menorah..." The memories I have of Chanukah throughout my childhood will stay with me forever...
