CHALICE AND PATTEN

The recommended Home Temple Chalice and Patten are offered by Judaica Worldwide.  They constitute an inexpensive but very beautiful Jewish Kiddush set costing a fraction of what church supply houses charge for Eucharistic chalices.  The Patten is called a plate or coaster, but is the traditional set after which the Church modeled Chalice and Patten. Two very nice sets are offered for under $40: #1571 (bottom of page) and #K1106 VB (near bottom of page)

SEVEN-BRANCHED MENORAH

The Seven-Branched Menorah is used only for Synagogue and Temple.   The Nine-Branched Menorah is the one seen at Chanukah.

We require the Seven-Branched Menorah on the Home Temple Altar.   This distinguishes it from Christian or Jewish altars, and it symbolizes the presence of the invisible Temple.  It requires special candles that should be ordered with the Menorah. You do not need to light the Menorah candles on the altar. They burn quickly and must be re-supplied in massive amounts, so leave them unlit.

Our traditional Menorah has the symbols of the Twelve Tribes and the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac.  It is a Tree of Life (Otz Chaim) standing upon the highest for four steps, representing the Four Kabbalistic Worlds. It can be ordered online from the Shofar Man at this link: Menorah. #514 small cup; under $30.

WHITE MENORAH CANDLES

These are supplied in packets of 45.  Home Temple still has a large supply of these and will offer them until the supply is gone.

PRICE (per packet of 45):  $6 plus shipping

ALTAR AND SHABBAT CANDLESTICKS
