menoras
Nine-branched ritual holder
Menoras is a plural of menorah, the candelabrum used in Jewish worship.
The traditional menorah has seven branches; the Hanukkah menorah (also called a hanukkiah) has nine—one for each night of the festival plus a helper candle.
The synagogue displayed antique menoras from Eastern Europe.
Also spelled menorahs.
