Perhaps you are asking about the eternal light? Synagogues have an eternal light in front of or above the ark, the ornate cabinet holding the scrolls of the Torah used for public reading during worship services. The light is a symbol of God's presence and a symbol of the eternal light that used to burn in front of the Holy of Holies in the Temple in Jerusalem back before the Roman Empire destroyed that and made off with the lampstand (you can see the image of that booty on the Arch of Titus in Rome).
