What kind of menorah do you use for Hanukkah?

You can add a comment about your reasons and significance as well. I’m personally looking into this and hoping not to cause any upset.

I personally use the seven cup Menorah for a few reasons. The seven cup configuration of a Menorah is the original design by the Creator. This original seven cup design was the configuration at the time of the Hanukkah story, which was only a seven cup oil lamp. The seven cup oil lamp is called a Menorah ( Hebrew for lamp) while a nine cup is actually called a Hanukiah which is a type of candelabra for candles. The reason for the nine Candles is from the Talmud and the legend of the oil lasting eight days instead of one. The nine candle candelabra did not show up until several decades or maybe centuries after the Hanukkah story. These are some of the reasons of why I personally only use a seven cup Menorah. Each person will have to do His or Her research and come to their own conclusion. Shalom and best regards from your brother.
