Strictly speaking, a "synagogue" is a house of study. (Studying Torah is considered a form of worship.) We "belong" to a synagogue in order to support it, primarily financially. (Unlike Christians, we cannot take monetary offerings during the worship service, so there is no "collection.")

Certain required religious rituals and prayers can only be performed in the presence of a minyan -- a group of at least 10 Jews. And a synagogue is the most likely place to find a minyan.

Is hanakaha celebrated in the synagogue?

I'll assume you're referring to Hanukah. the menorah (candelabrum) is lit by each Jew in their home; but Hanukah is marked in the synagogue as well, with Torah-reading each day for the eight days, and a couple of additions to the daily prayers. It is customary to light a menorah in the synagogue too.
