Our Sages in the Talmud refer to Jerusalem as "the light of the world." The
symbol of this holy spiritual light was the Menorah (Temple lamp) which
emanated light through the unusual windows of the Sanctuary. The windows were
made narrower on the inside - bringing less sunlight into the Sanctuary, but
maximizing the spiritual light that burst forth to the world. Enlighten yourself
this season with a beautiful Menorah from the Land of Israel.
