About the Chanukiah
The Hanukkah menorah, or Chanukiah, was inspired by the lamp that stands in the synagogue, known as ner tamid—which translates to the eternal flame. When the Maccabees reclaimed their holy temple from the Greeks, they discovered that many of the relics in the temple had been stolen or destroyed. They wanted to relight the menorah, but there was only enough oil to burn for one night.The miracle of Hanukkah is that the oil burned for not one night, but eight nights. That is why the original ner tamid differs from the Chanukiah. The Chanukiah has nine candle holders, while the temple menorah has only seven.Jewish Virtual Library: Menorah History.com: The History of Hanukkah
