Is size really a factor in determining if its kosher or not? The
Temple Institute in Jerusalem has a replica of the Temple Menorah from
the Holy Place. It is over 6 ft. high and at least 6 ft. across.

| 1511.4 | Channukia is the 9-branched "menorah" (candelabra) | CADSYS::GROSS | The bug stops here | Fri Jan 24 1997 23:46 | 15 |
Re: .3 Of course, I am asking about the 9-branched chanukia. My point is that the procedure I was taught for lighting the Channuka menorah is to light the shammash candle first. Then use the shammash to light the other candles. If the channukia is so huge that it is not possible to use the shammash to light the other candles (or lamps or whatever), then why is it permitted to use that channukia at all? Perhaps one could kindle the shammash with an "ordinary" torch; then kindle a special torch from the flame of the shammash and use that to kindle the remaining lights? Dave | |||||
