And he made the Menorah of pure gold, hammered out did he make the Menorah, its base, and its shaft; its cups, its knobs, and its flowers, were from it.
EXODUS (37:17)
וַיַּעַשׂ אֶת הַמְּנֹרָה זָהָב טָהוֹר מִקְשָׁה עָשָׂה אֶת הַמְּנֹרָה יְרֵכָהּ וְקָנָהּ גְּבִיעֶיהָ כַּפְתֹּרֶיהָ וּפְרָחֶיהָ מִמֶּנָּה הָיוּ
שמות לז:יז

Today's Israel Inspiration
The Menorah was made of pure gold and was lit with pure olive oil. Its radiant light symbolized the Jewish nation's duty to spread the light of Torah. The purest elements of gold and oil were used to impress upon the people that one must have pure intentions to come closer to God and to influence the nations of the world for the sake of Heaven.

THE WORSHIP MENORAH HAS 7 ARMS AND THE ONE USED FOR CHANNUKAH HAS MORE.
