The seven-branched candelabrum, known as the "Menorah" and described in great
detail in Exodus, was one of the major implements first in the traveling 'Mishkan' after
the Exodus from Egypt, and later in the First and Second Holy Temples in Jerusalem.
The more recent Temple was sacked and looted by the Romans some 1,940 years ago,
in the year 70, and its implements carried off. Their whereabouts are unknown, and the
Menorah plays no significant role in Judaism except as an historical symbol, since then.
