As you look at it, you will notice that one candle is set at a different level from the other eight. That one is called the Shammash, or helper candle. Jewish law states that the regular candles are for viewing and spreading the word of the miracle only, so the Shammash is used to light the others, and for any other purpose, such as for light to read by.The menorah itself may be made in almost any manner - glass, metal, etc.. The menorah may be sleek and contemporary, or flowery and ornate, and it may incorporate decorations or it may be plain and functional.The Hanukkiah-menorah should be placed in a window or doorway that is as visible as possible to the public, to publicize the miracle of Hanukkah. If you are unable to put the Hanukkiah (menorah) in a window or doorway, then put it on a table within the house, or any other safe place that will be highly visible.
