Original Note:
The tweet uses a 7-branch menorah, which while widely used as a symbol of Judaism throughout history, is not used in religious practice. Instead, Hanukkah is celebrated using a 9-branch menorah for reasons explained here: https://amenvamen.com/menorah-vs-chanukiah http://www.wsj.com/articles/why-does-the-hanukkah-menorah-have-nine-branches-1481897288?st=2xbtqs0krd486jb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_menorah#Hannukah_Menorah
