Menorah

The Menorah is a universal symbol of Judaism. It is modelled on the original seven-branched oil lamp that was in the Temple of Solomon. For some the seven branches represent the seven days of creation, or the seven heavens full of the light of God. Others see it as representative of the presence of God (seven being the number of perfection). Perhaps it even harks back to the burning bush of Exodus 3, out of which God called Moses to liberate his people from slavery.
