The National Library of Israel houses numerous illuminated manuscripts that showcase the history and significance of the Hanukkah menorah. These manuscripts include a holiday prayer book from Bavaria, a Sephardi Tanach, and medieval images of the nine-branched menorah. The library also contains prints and drawings of hanukkiot, providing insight into how the holiday was celebrated in the past. Additionally, the library's Historical Jewish Press Collection includes issues of Bamahane, the IDF magazine, which featured a colorful illustration of a seven-branched menorah on its 1949 Hanukkah issue.
