Shabbat Candlesticks

Shabbat candlesticks play a significant role in traditional Jewish households during Sabbath.

These candlesticks hold two candles that are lit on Friday evening, creating a peaceful, calming atmosphere. Candles symbolize unity, light, and a connection with God, and therefore, hold great importance in Jewish culture. The candle lighting is usually performed by the female head of the household, signifying the individual’s role in bringing light and holiness into the home.

Some choose to light candles in silver or aluminum candlesticks, while others opt for candlesticks made of Onyx.

Regardless of their material, the candlesticks serve as a beautiful and symbolic way for families to observe the Sabbath and connect with one another and their faith.
