candelabrum
Explanation:
Това е думата. Както каза и Атанас Даков цирлихт идва от немското Zierlicht, което идва от Zier - ornament и Licht - light, т.е. богато украсен "светилник", с много орнаменти. В синагогата това е точно богато разклоненият, с много орнаменти свещник - candelabrum (candelabra мн.ч.)

Notes to answerer
Asker: Благодаря ви за предложението. За съжаление, познанията ми по немски са оскъдни. Как мислите, можем ли да смятаме, че в случая става дума за т. нар. Hanukkah Menorah (an eight-branched candelabrum) ? Какви други значения би могло да има немската дума?
