The menorah has seven branches and it is a candelabrum. It is lit by olive oil, although some now are electric. The menorah is one of the oldest Jewish symbols. It is supposed to symbolize the burning bush.

You could paraphrase a bit more. Plus, I'd like a little more information about the Menorah. For example, its use during Hannukah with the lighting of one candle per night. What does that symbolize?
I found it very interesting that the Menorah was meant to symbolize the burning bush. I never would have guessed.
I didn't know that the Menorah was a symbol for the burning bush. I'm still a little confused on what the signicance of the burning bush is about for the religion of Judaism.
This is very interesting information, I had no clue what the Menorah symblolized before.
This is good information but I also think it would have been nice if you talked about how it is used during Hannukah and what it actually represents when they do that.
