Menorah 7 branches paper cut - Judaica Prayer Wall Art - Home Protection Symbol, sold FRAMED

This elegant fine art laser-cut wall hanging celebrates JEWISH HOME.

The menorah (Hebrew: מְנוֹרָה) is described in the Bible as the seven-lamp (six branches) ancient Hebrew lampstand made of pure gold and used in the portable sanctuary set up sold by Moses in the wilderness and later in the Temple in Jerusalem. Fresh olive oil of the purest quality was burned daily to light its lamps. The menorah has been a symbol of Judaism since ancient times and is the emblem on the coat of arms of the modern state of Israel.

Symbolism:

The menorah symbolized the ideal of universal enlightenment. The idea that the Menorah symbolizes wisdom is noted in the Talmud, for example, in the following: "Rabbi Isaac said: He who desires to become wise should incline to the south when praying. The symbol by which to remember this is that… the Menorah was on the southern side of the Temple."

The seven lamps allude to the branches of human knowledge, represented by the six lamps inclined inwards towards, and symbolically guided by, the light of God represented by the central lamp. The menorah also symbolizes the creation in seven days, with the center light representing the Sabbath.

On either side of the menorah are two deers and branches of pomegranates.
