Tonight is the second night of Hanukkah. I can't remember when or where I got this menorah, but I've used it for years. The tablet in the middle represents the Ten Commandments (with the Hebrew letters for 1-10, starting top right); the rampant lions are ancient symbols of Israel. The paper plate is an even more ancient method of catching any wax drippings before they ruin your stereo; it's in Deuteronomy somewhere, I'm sure.

More information on the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah can be found here (and of course at its Wikipedia entry).
Nice shot - everything I said on the last day (I already commented on the last day!) can be applied here. i only wish the candle box would not be there though...
Thanks for sharing a true slice of your life. What a neat menorah, not like any others I have seen before (I haven't seen too many as I am not Jewish). I like the composition and the yellow coloring of the lighting, it makes it very real feeling.
