This image shows a Hanukkah menorah with nine candles burning in a silver holder. The menorah is a symbol of the Jewish holiday Hanukkah, which commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 165 BCE. Hanukkah is celebrated for eight nights, starting on the 25th day of the Hebrew month of Kislev. During the festival, a hanukkiah, or menorah with nine candles, is used to light the candles one at a time, in the following order: the shamash, which is used to light the other candles, and the other eight candles, which represent the eight nights of Hanukkah. The shamash is placed in the center of the menorah, and is used to light the other candles. Hanukkah is an important holiday in the Jewish tradition, as it commemorates a time of miracles and victories for the Jewish people. During the festival, families gather to light the menorah, sing songs, and exchange gifts. The image is a representation of the hanukkiah used to light the candles during the festival.
