–光的记号
以色列离开埃及时是一个满月。但上帝的火柱为他们带来照明和保护。
出埃及记13:21-22
日间耶和华在云柱中领他们的路，夜间在火柱中光照他们，使他们日夜都可以行走。 22 日间云柱，夜间火柱，总不离开百姓的面前。
为了记念上帝是光, 很多大的金灯台(分枝烛台)被树立起来, 并燃点八天来庆祝。
祈祷，当以色列庆祝耶稣为世界的光时，耶路撒冷会有平安。
The Knesset Menorah, situated on the edge of the Rose Garden across from the Knesset building, is the work of the Jewish-English artist of German origin Benno Elkan (1877 – 1960). The Menorah is molded of bronze and resembles the menorah (7-branched candelabra) of the Temple, which has come to be a Jewish symbol. The sculpture is 4.30 meters high, 3.5 meters wide, and weighs 4 tons. The main theme of the work depicts the spiritual struggles of the Jewish people and it is engraved with the passage “Not by strength and not by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord who rules over all” (Zechariah 4, 6). The Menorah includes engravings of biblical figures and events from the tradition and history of the Jewish people. The engravings on the six side branches of the Menorah portray the fate of the Israeli people since it was exiled from its land, and the engravings on the center branch portray the people’s fate since the beginning of the return to the land up to the establishment of the State of Israel.
