My parents bought this menorah on their honeymoon in Israel, summer 1961. It was made by a person or company named Dayagi. The Hebrew writing reads: "These lights are sacred," part of the brief liturgy that we read each night of Hanukkah when we light the Hanukkah lights.

The miracle of the oil occurred precisely because the Jewish people were deserving of it. Rather than waiting for Divine intervention, they took action.
