"Texting Menorah" Hanukkah Lamp, 2018-2020
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 in the year 165 B.C.E. Menorahs often incorporate traditional motifs, but more modern ones may also depict contemporary subjects, symbols, or designs.
