Light unto the nations

The Knesset Menorah is modeled after the golden candelabrum that stood in the Temple in Jerusalem. It is one of the emblems of Israel. Some sources [citation needed] claim that this choice is inspired by the vision of "Light Unto the Nations"

Light to the nations (Hebrew: אוֹר לַגּוֹיִים, romanizedʾŌr laGōyyīm; also "light of the nations", "light of all nations", "light for all nations") is a term originated from the prophet Isaiah which is understood by some to express the universal designation of the Israelites as mentors for spiritual and moral guidance for the entire world.[1]
