Menorah (מנורה) was a seven-branched candelabrum of the Temple in Jerusalem. Its appearence is mentioned in the Torah, specifically in the Shemot (Exodus), which describes its construction. According to Jewish symbolism, the menorah is portrayed as the burning bush that Moses saw on Mount Horeb. The seven branches of menorah is believed to be a reference to the seven days of creation. The original golden menorah was used in the Tabernacle and later in the Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem. It was lost after the destruction of the Solomon's Temple and following the construction of the Second Temple was made the new one. The new menorah was however stolen by Romans after they destroyed the Second Temple in 70 CE. Menorah is a traditional symbol of Judaism and since 1948 it has been a part of Israel's coat of arm.
