Antiques, 7 branch Brass Menorah This is an antiques piece. It is not perfect and there is some candle wax here and there, but this is a wonderful Menorah. The first candelabra, or menorah in Hebrew, was created by Betzalel, the greatest silversmith of all time, in the wilderness and brought to the Temple in Jerusalem. When the Temple was destroyed in 70 C.E., the menorah was already a Jewish symbol for one thousand years. The first menorah had seven branches symbolizing the lower seven spheres, or the days of the week. The five branch menorah symbolizes the fingers of a hand with the thumb in the center, or the four letters in the Almighty's holy name yud-k-vav-k with the crown of the first letter. The nine branch menorah is used on the Jewish holiday of lights, Chanukah
