[Avodah] Semi-circle menorah

[Elazar M. Teitz]

<<I was a asking whether having the lights arranged in a straight row is preferred to a semi-circular or curved arrangement. In other words, is a semi circle problematic in terms of being k'madurah?>> 

<See KSA 139:9: "Haneros yihyu beshureh achas beshaveh lo echad gavoah
ve'echad namuch.." which one could read as you say.>

     The KSA explains b'shaveh as "lo echad gavo'ah v'echad namuch." Obviously, he is referring to it being vertically "shaveh," and makes no reference to the horizontal.
