<p>[QUOTE=&quot;reader, post: 4353540, member: 255&quot;]That’s really interesting to me. I was going to make a correction before I saw that the artist named it Chanukah except that it isn’t unless I’m totally missing something which is always a possibility. The menorah in the print (Hebrew for candlestick) is a Shabbat menorah to be used on Friday nights. It has 7 candlesticks and was the menorah in the ancient temple in Jerusalem. A Chanukah menorah has 9 candle holders-4 on each side to commemorate the 8 days that the oils stayed lit (although there was supposedly only enough oil for one day) when the Maccabees revolted against the Greeks. One candle is lit for each day by the shamash which is the 9th candle-the attendant candle. </p><p><br /></p><p>Chanukah is usually around Christmas time (this year it’s Nov. 28-Dec 6 so this year it’s a bit earlier) and I’d better go get my Fish menorah (artist piece) down![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
