How to use menorah in a sentence?

1. Katia Cytryn-Silverman:

   The fact that this is the one chosen for a top step is also challenging for our modern mind: was this a positive or negative appropriation of the menorah? were they stepping on purpose? Did the room serve a special function? Were the inhabitants of the house actually aware of its importance? Was this just a beautiful ornamented piece? While these questions are still hard to answer, the very use [of the door] at this place, and our eventual exposure, revived its long trajectory, going fromJewish hands, to Muslim, and then to Christian owners.

2. Katia Cytryn-Silverman:

   As this happened toward the Jewish Holiday of Hanukkah ? which celebrates the liberation and the rededication of the Second Temple by the Maccabeans (second century BCE) and the miracle of the lasting oil, which burned in the Temple's menorah for eight days ? we decided to bring the finding to public knowledge, as a good wish for Hannukah and for the Holiday Season.

3. Rabbi Zalman Lipskar:

   Temple Menorah's very difficult to comprehend how Temple Menorah's possible.
