"Go Menorah" Hanukkah Lamp, 2018
01
Artifact Overview
Each night of Hanukkah, many Jewish families light a symbolic candelabrum called a menorah. This deep-rooted custom commemorates a miracle that followed a military victory by a small rebel army, the Maccabees, over the Jews' Syrian-Greek oppressors in 165 B.C.E. This menorah applies 21st-century technology to help people celebrate.
