Question

Hello, is it permitted to buy or make a seven-branched menorah?

Answer

Hello,

It is forbidden to buy or make such a menorah, and the prohibition applies to all types of metals and any height, even if it does not have knobs, cups, and flowers. Even if the menorah is not straight but round or triangular, it is also forbidden.
