Tiêu đề Nor Tamid Lamp Tóm tắt Một phần của đèn Nor Tamid DAN

Nor Tamid Lamp.

Known as Ner Tamid (Hebrew: “eternal light”), the lamp symbolises the presence of divine light and as such should be kept aflame in a synagogue at all times, regardless whether the temple is open. This tradition is a reminder of the everlasting menorah in the Temple in Jerusalem (also known as The First Temple).

The lamp on display was discovered, alongside other objects, during archeological excavations conducted in 2004 on the site once occupied by the Great Synagogue in Oświęcim, before it was razed to the ground by the Nazis in November 1939.
