Fulvia, 
I did some additional research and now I think I understand that there are multiple types. I showed the Temple Menorah (below) but there is also a Hanukkah Menorah with nine candles. Please advise if I'm still incorrect.

A reconstruction of the Menorah of the Temple created by the Temple Institute 
The menorah ( Hebrew : מְנוֹרָה ‎ [mənoːˈɾaː] ) is described in the Bible as the seven-lamp (six branches) ancient Hebrew lampstand made of pure gold and used in the portable sanctuary set up by Moses in the wilderness and later in the Temple in Jerusalem . Fresh olive oil of the purest quality was burned daily to light its lamps. The menorah has been a symbol of Judaism since ancient times and is the emblem on the coat of arms of the modern state of Israel .

PS Are you sure the menorah has seven candles and not nine?

Council Members, 
I was unable to attend the last meeting so forgive me if these ideas were already discussed. 

During vacation I was thinking about how we could communicate D&I information to the Lab personnel. I'm curious as to what others think about a reoccurring D&I section of the Labs On Target newsletter that addresses things like: 


    * Interviews with people on D&I topics (example: Hiring; Interview with Cassandra on the HR process) 
    * D&I quiz that has 2-3 questions and answers on the topic (example: What does STEM stand for?) 
    * Myths about race, religion, sex, etc. (example: All Middle East countries are Muslim) 
    * How different religions, races, etc. celebrate holidays (example: What do the seven lamps of the Menorah symbolize?) 

Just a thought. 
Ron
