Menorah
/ma-'nor-ah/n/ [Heb] word for candlestick:
A menorah is a candleholder, which often has seven branches. A seven branch menorah is the official emblem of the State of Israel.
However, at Hannukah time, a special 9 branch menorah is used. Eight of the candles in the Hannukah menorah represent the eight nights of Hannukah. The ninth holder holds the "shammash" or servant candle (the candle used to light the other candles.)
