Jan 1, 2017 at 22:54 comment added DanF My understanding i sthat there is no requirement that the shamash even stay there as part of teh menorah, itself. I have ot seen any source mentioning thsi - only one that you may not use the other candles for lighting each other. If this is true, I wonder why almost all menorot have a spot for the shamash, anyway. I've seen people blow out the shamash after the other candles are lit, too.

Jan 1, 2017 at 12:08 comment added msh210 People use "shamash" to refer to an extra light sitting near (or attached to) a m'nora. People also use it to refer to a candle used to light the m'nora. Which do you mean? This question is unclear to me. (cc @DoubleAA )
