menorah
A menorah is, in the Jewish tradition, any candelabra which has special religious significance. During Hannukah Jews use a nine-branched menorah and, in the ancient Temple, a seven-branched menorah was used.
yarmulke
The word yarmulke comes from Yiddish, and, in turn from Polish and Ukrainian yarmulka. It's ultimate origin may be the Turkish yamurluk, which means "rain clothing." It refers to a skullcap worn by Jewish men and boys, especially those adhering to Orthodox or Conservative Judaism.

The Menorah is the 8 candle candlestick used by Jews in the festival of lights known as Hannukah. The Yarmulke is a small cap worn on the heads by observant Jews.

They are objects of the Jewish faith. The menorah is a candle hold of sorts that holds one candle for each day of Hannikkah, usually around Chistmas. A yarmulke is the traditional headcovering for a Jewish male. Since I'm not Jewish, I can't tell you the significance of it, but there you go.
