Menorah is a term widely used as a symbol for Jewish heritage and the Festival of Lights known as Hanukkah, but it is not the only term used for this particular candelabrum. Other synonyms are commonly used and understood within Jewish culture, such as "Hanukkiah," which refers specifically to the nine-branched menorah used during Hanukkah, or "chanukiah." "Chandelier" can sometimes be used to describe a menorah, due to the multiple branches and candelabras that make up the traditional nine-branched menorah. Other less common synonyms include "mizmor," "ner tamid," and "temple lamp." All of these terms refer to the iconic symbol that is synonymous with Jewish culture and tradition.
