The most widely recognized symbol for Judaism is the star of David, a 6-pointed star made from two identical overlapping equilateral triangles one turned 60 degrees from the other. That symbol is also the youngest symbol of Judaism; many cultures have used the 6-pointed star for various purposes, and it only became a specifically Jewish symbol after the middle ages. The Menorah (7-branched candlestick) is the oldest specifically Jewish symbol.

Where can you find menorahs?
The menorah was a 7-branched gold oil lamp that was set up in the Temple in Jerusalem. It was hauled off as loot by the Roman army when they sacked the Temple in the year 70. The last record we have of it is the image carved on the inside of the Arch of Titus in Rome showing the victorious Roman soldiers parading into Rome with their loot. Presumably, it was taken to the Parthenon where Rome kept symbols of all the religions of their empire, and presumably, it was melted down for gold at some time later, perhaps when the Huns sacked Rome, possibly earlier.You can find a menorah in many synagogues, because it has become a symbol of Judaism. It is not a necessary symbol, and many synagogues have neither 7-branched candlestick nor any images of it. You can also find 9-branched candlesticks or oil lamps in many synagogues and Jewish homes; these are frequently called menorahs, but more properly, they are hanukkiahs, used in the celebration of Hanukkah.

Candle thing? That is a bit on the vague side. I can think of several things you might be asking about:-- the Shabbat candles, they are just called candles, and they usually sit in candlesticks.-- the Menorah, a 7-branched candle holder symbolic of the ancient Temple in Jerusalem.-- the Hanukiah or Hanukkah menorah, a 9-branched candle holder used for Hanukkah.-- the Havdalah candle, a braided multi-wick candle used at the end of the Sabbath.-- the Ner Tamid (eternal light) that burns in front of the ark where the Torah scrolls are.
What is the name of the seven-candle holder for Hanukkah?
It is called a Menorah. It has seven candles because that was the number of oil lamps on the menorah in the Holy Temple (Exodus ch.25). The Hanukkah-menorah has eight candles because that was the number of days of the miracle with the oil.
