parashat Beha'alotchaThe m'norah, originally one among many objects in the Tent of Meeting, has become one of the most familiar symbols of Judaism. More than 1000 years after the time of Aaron, the m'norah became the symbol of Aaron's descendants, the Hasmoneans, who reclaimed the temple of Jerusalem after the Maccabees' victory. (Today we use an eight-branched m'norah - now known more precisely as a hanukkiyyah - to commemorate the eight days of the Hannukah miracle; the m'norah described here is seven branched.) The m'norah carried off by Roman soldiers in a victory parade, is featured in a carving on the Arch of Titus in Rome, which celebrates the defeat of the Jews in 70 C.E.; 19 centuries later, the seven-branched m'norah became the seal of the State of Israel. Recalling the bush that burned but was not consumed, the light of the m'norah would never be permanently extinguished. Taken from Etz Hayim Torah and Commentary
