The menorah, also known as the seven-branched candelabrum, is one of the most important religious symbols of Judaism. According to the biblical account, Moses was given the task of erecting a portable sanctuary (Mishkan) on Mount Sinai. He was given a description of each ritual object and shown a celestial model. One of these objects was a candlestick.
