The candles on the menorah symbolize the miracle of Hanukkah, where a small amount of oil lasted for eight days in the Jewish Temple.
For the Hanukkah menorah (chanukiah), any kind of candle that will fit, provided they burn at least 1/2 hour after dusk.
the menorah can be any color and the candles too. most Jewish people have a silver menorah to make the mitzvah prettier for g-d.
Two answers. The menorah was the candelabrum in the Tabernacle and the Temple (Exodus ch.25); and today, the candles lit in Hanukkah are placed in what we call a menorah (or a Hanukkiah).
A menorah is a candelabra with a single stand. Its design enables to branch out and hold 9 candles stemming from one base. It is most commonly used in the Jewish holiday of Haukkah.
They can be lit on any surface or container; no special holder is required. Customarily, they are lit on a candelabra which is made for this specific purpose, called a menorah, a Hanukkah-menorah, or a hanukkiyah.
False, the menorah is not a traditional symbol of Kwanzaa. True, it is a candleholder with places for nine candles to celebrate the Jewish holiday Hanukkah. But there also is a special candleholder with which to celebrate Kwanzaa. It is called the kinara, but has places for only seven candles.
The household menorah may be removed when its candles (or oil) burn out on the eighth night of Hanukkah; or you may leave it as long as you wish. Displaying it beyond the end of Hanukkah is permitted but unnecessary and is not discussed in Jewish law. See also:More about Hanukkah and the menorah
There is no historical evidence to suggest that a menorah was present at the Last Supper. The Last Supper, as described in the New Testament, was a Passover meal, and while a menorah is a significant symbol in Jewish tradition, it is primarily associated with the festival of Hanukkah rather than Passover. The setting for the Last Supper would have more likely included typical Jewish tableware of the time rather than a menorah.
the Menorah
I am not sure what you man by a Jewish candle; Jews use the same parafin candles that non-Jews use. If you would like to know when Jews burn candles, there are two major ritutal uses for candles in Judaism: a candle is lit for the Sabbath on Friday at sundown, and a series of candles are lit for the menorah during Hanukkah.
A menorah
That is the correct spelling (menorah) of a multi-armed Jewish candlestick.
