### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In these texts it means the menorah, the seven-branched golden lamp-stand made for the Tabernacle. It was hammered from one piece of pure gold, with cups like almond blossoms, knops and flowers. In Solomon's Temple there were ten golden lampstands, five on each side, and in Zechariah's vision a lampstand stands between two olive-trees. Interpretation: Tradition reads the seven lamps as a symbol of light and wisdom, and the menorah became a lasting sign of the Jewish people. The Temple menorah was lit every evening, and the Hanukkah menorah recalls it. Zechariah's vision of the lampstand and olive-trees is read on the Shabbat of Hanukkah, as a message that the light comes by God's spirit and not by might. In the primary lessons: In history and stories, people carried candlesticks to bed. In the board game Cluedo, the candlestick is one of the weapons. Nursery rhyme: «Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jump over the candlestick.» In churches, tall candlesticks stand on the altar.
