In English, menorah was originally the name for the seven-branched candelabra used in Jewish worship. The nine-branched Hanukkah candelabra is called hanukkiah in Hebrew, but English speakers came to use menorah for this too. ~ Merriam-Webster Dictionary Thank you. I wanted to make one but hadn't got around to it yet.
Menorah has 7 candles and Chanukah has 9 candles. Menorah represents the 7 days of creation of the world in Judaism's view. Greetings
Is there a reason this has only 7 candles rather than 9?
Thank you both for your explanations!
