Editing Temple menorah (section)

==Modern Jewish use==

=== In synagogues ===
[[Synagogue]]s have a continually lit lamp or light in front of the [[Torah ark]], where the [[Sefer Torah|Torah scroll]] is kept, called the ''[[ner tamid]]'' (eternal light). This lamp represents the continually lit ''ner Elohim'' of the menorah used in Temple times.<ref name= Birnbaum366/> In addition, many synagogues display either a menorah or an artistic representation of a menorah.

=== State of Israel ===

A menorah appears in the [[Emblem of Israel]], based on the depiction of the menorah on the Arch of Titus.

=== Temple Institute reconstruction ===
The [[Temple Institute]] has created a life-sized menorah, designed by goldsmith Chaim Odem, intended for use in a future [[Third Temple]]. The Jerusalem Post describes the menorah as made "according to excruciatingly exacting Biblical specifications and prepared to be pressed into service immediately should the need arise."<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.jpost.com/israel/citysights-more-than-a-model-menorah|title=CITYsights: More than a model menorah|newspaper=[[The Jerusalem Post]]|access-date=4 July 2022|archive-date=3 July 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220703122100/https://www.jpost.com/israel/citysights-more-than-a-model-menorah|url-status=live}}</ref> The menorah is made of one talent (interpreted as 45&nbsp;kg) of 24 karat pure gold, hammered out of a single block of solid gold, with decorations based on the depiction of the original in the Arch of Titus and the Temple Institute's interpretation of the relevant religious texts.

=== Other modern Jewish uses ===
A menorah appeared on the cap badge of the [[First Judeans]] of the Jewish Legion (1919–1921).

Sometimes when teaching learners of the [[Hebrew language]], a chart shaped like the seven-lamp menorah is used to help students remember the role of the ''[[binyan]]im'' of the [[Hebrew verb]].

The menorah is the main element in several [[List of Holocaust memorials and museums|Holocaust memorials]].<gallery class="center">
