Menorah

The Hanukkah menorah, also chanukiah or hanukkiah (Hebrew: מנורת חנוכה‬ menorat ḥanukkah, pl. menorot; also Hebrew: חַנֻכִּיָּה‬ ḥanukkiyah, or chanukkiyah, pl. ḥanukkiyot/chanukkiyot, or Yiddish: חנוכּה לאָמפּ‎ khanike lomp, lit.: 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 or as a symbol.

On each night of Hanukkah a new branch is lit. 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. To be kosher the shamash must be offset on a higher or lower plane than the main eight candles or oil lamps, but there are differing opinions as to whether all the lights must be arranged in a straight line,[2][3] or if the channukiah can be arranged in a curve.[4][5]

The menorah is among the most widely produced articles of Jewish ceremonial art. The seven-branched menorah is a traditional symbol of Judaism, along with the Star of David.[6]

A hanukkiah (🕎) was added to Unicode in version 8.0 along with a number of other religiously significant symbols. The open source typeface Hananiah is one of the few fonts that supports this character.
