A MENORAH --- BY ANY OTHER NAME!


This wonderful graphic from the Yiddish Book Center shows different spellings and pronunciations of the Hanukkah candelabrum where we light one additional candle for each of the eight nights, using a ninth candle to light them with!

Here you can immediately see the sources of the various pronunciations and English transliterations in use today!
