 Tonight is the eighth and last night of Hanukkah, so all the candles are lit. I can't remember when or where I got this menorah, but I've used it for years. The tablet in the middle represents the Ten Commandments (with the Hebrew letters for 1-10, starting top right); the rampant lions are ancient symbols of Israel. The paper plate is an even more ancient method of catching any wax drippings before they ruin your stereo; it's in Deuteronomy somewhere, I'm sure.

More information on the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah can be found here (and of course at its Wikipedia entry).

Thanks for the information. However, if I look in Deuteronomy, will I really find something about protecting your stereo??

Nicely exposed and composed. Do the different colors of candles mean anything? Thanks for explaing the menorah to us. I always like to learn new things on other seasonal traditions.
