Description
"Vacaville Menorah" photo by Brian Tada.
bit.ly/VacavilleMenorah
God answered my prayer to be able to take a photo of a public-display Menorah during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.
This was seen in Vacaville, California and sponsored by the Friends of Chabad of Solano County, December 2015.
A long-duration shutter exposure of 26.5 seconds yielded intriguing results in the star-filter effect and light trails from a signaling car.
As a follower of Yeshua Jesus, when I see a nine-branch Menorah I am reminded of my Messiah who observed Hanukkah (John 10:22-23) and how He came not to abolish Torah and the Law ~ but to fulfill them.
Indeed, He came through Bethlehem ("House of Bread" in Hebrew) as the Light of the world, the Servant Candle (Shamash) giving Hope to humanity not only at Hanukkah and Christmas but also every day of the year.
