Why there are 8 branches on a Menorah

why are there eight lights on the Kaneka monora you may have heard the story about the jug of oil that was really only enough to last one night and it lasted eight nights so we have the symbolism of the eight nights but there's a deeper explanation as well and let me begin with asking a question if you know about the story of them lighting the manura in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem this was after the battle with the helist Greeks the helist Greeks had defiled the temple and then the macbes entered the temple and we're trying to restore it to its previous Splendor and one of the things that's done every single day in the temple it's actually one of The Commandments that was given to Moses is to light the manur in the temple there was a candle abam in the temple that candal abam only had seven branches so why does the Kaneka manur if it's supposed to be representative of the miracle that happened with the manur in the temple why does the Kaneka manura have eight branches you could say it's because of the eight nights but again there's a deeper explanation and that is seven is the number that's embedded into the fabric of nature that's because the world was created in seven days those are seven distinct energies which are building blocks of the created realm and therefore the order of nature that which is predictable which is considered to be mundane and everyday that follows a pattern of seven and that pattern repeats itself you see the days of the weeks having notes in a musical scale having colors of the rainbow so that's the number of of nature is seven eight is one above eight is surpassing the scale going above the system off the charts so to speak when we experience a miracle we're tapping into that level of eight which represents going above and beyond what's ordinary we all have a pattern a certain regularity to our lives the way that we're used to behaving the way we're used to thinking and reacting and that's call that seven our nature haneka means we have the ability to break through that ceiling to go to the level called Eight where we can behave in a way that's Supernatural
