    		The menorah of 7 candles symbolizes the Burning Bush as God conversed with Moses in Exodus. The 8 candle menorah also known as a Chanukkeah symbolizes the miracle of the oil in the lamp of the temple, which was supposed to last one day lasting eight days after the defeat of the Greeks by the Maccabees. This is celebrated during the festival of Chanukkah (There are other ways to correctly spell this Hebrew transliteration).
