Question
Hello, I bought a seven-branched menorah and heard that it is forbidden. Is there a remedy for this?
Answer
Hello,
Indeed, it is forbidden to buy a seven-branched menorah, but there is a remedy: you can either add an additional branch or remove one.
Sealing the branch does not help; it must be removed.
Best of luck.
