The menorah, the seven-branched candelabrum, has traversed millennia as a living symbol of Judaism and the Jewish people. The Menorah explores the cultural and intellectual history of the Western world's oldest continuously used religious symbol. Naturally, it did not pass through the ages unaltered.
Commemorating the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE, the arch reliefs depict the spoils of the Temple, the menorah chief among them, as they appeared in Titus's great triumphal parade in 71 CE. This meticulously researched yet deeply personal history explains how the menorah illuminates the great changes and continuities in Jewish culture, from biblical times to modern Israel.Though the golden seven-branched menorahs of Moses and of the Jerusalem Temple are artifacts lost to history, the best-known menorah image survives on the Arch of Titus in Rome.
