re: There’s a big arse menorah on the White House lawn, but no nativity scene.

Why does Biden's menorah have nine lights, rather than seven?

All menorahs have nine lights. The middle candle is used to light the others which each represent one of the eight nights of Hanukah.

Your post got me to do some research.

A "Menorah" (the Temple lamp) has 7 candles, symbolizing the days of creation, while the special one for Hanukkah, called a "Hanukkiah," has 9 candles—eight for the holiday nights plus a ninth "helper" (Shamash) to light them, commemorating the miracle oil. So, for the Festival of Lights, you use the 9-branched Hanukkiah; the 7-branched Menorah is a general symbol of Judaism

Learn something new every day.

I honestly never noticed that the Hanukkah version (the Hanukkiah) has the additional two candles.

And you are a low IQ moron:

This is the exact reason government should not promote any religious beliefs. Why don’t they have a satan symbol? Or a Buddhist symbol? Some pussy who can’t see past his own religion gets his parties in a wad and starts talking shite.

Good for the Jews. I’m happy they have a menorah. I’m not crying because there’s not something showing my religion.
