There is a difference between the "menorah" of the Jews and the Chandelier which use the Holy Church, because that of the Jews use has all the candles in the same level and that Chandelier use for our Holy Church is staggered (the candle of the center is mor higher, both next more lowers and so forth) See picture up

Oh really?

and here's another:

I think you'll find that in the traditional Jewish menorah, the centre candle is higher than the others.

I am very familiar with the visuals of the 7-branch candelabra , and when one see`s a manorah, one knows its a manorah...this was a manorah, but it wasnt on the altar ,but to the right of it on a mantle, note; this is a home chapel and not a Church-Thus the 5 foot long 1 foot wide mantle braced on the wall with a manorah on the middle and an icon of Christ in front of it...maybe Ill take a picture next month, and show you all- or should I just keep it quiet and alert the Bishop?

What about this way of viewing it: If it was once used as a menorah in Jewish worship then have it blessed for Orthodox Christian use.
