The Knesset Menorah

This enormous bronze menorah [11.5' x 14'; 4 tons) was sculpted by the German artist Benno Elkan (1877—1960). It depicts various scenes from the Hebrew Bible and later Jewish history. It was presented by the British Parliament to Israel in 1956 and sits on the grounds of the Knesset (the Israeli Parliament) in West Jerusalem.
