Frequently Asked Questions

What Are These Shabbat Candleholders Made Of?

Our candleholders are crafted from solid wood with an affixed brass insert to hold your candles. The combination of natural wood and brass accents creates a modern, understated elegance that complements any table.
What Size Candles Fit These Holders?

These candleholders are designed to fit standard Shabbat taper candles. The brass insert securely holds candles in place throughout your Friday evening.
Do the Candleholders Come as a Pair?

Yes. Each order includes one pair (two candleholders), following the traditional practice of lighting two candles to welcome Shabbat.
Can I Use Any Candle Holders for Shabbat?

While there's no strict requirement for a specific type of holder, many families choose candleholders that feel special and set apart for the ritual. Having dedicated Shabbat candleholders helps create a sense of intention and marks the transition into a meaningful pause each week.
What Is a Shabbat Candle Holder Called?

In Hebrew, Shabbat candleholders are often called lichtiger (from Yiddish) or simply פמוטים (pamotim), meaning candlesticks. Whatever you like to call them, they serve as a beautiful focal point for welcoming Shabbat into your home.
Why Do People Cover Their Eyes After Lighting Shabbat Candles?

Traditionally, the candles are lit before the blessing is recited. Covering the eyes allows you to say the blessing without yet "seeing" the lit candles, so the light feels like a new gift when you uncover your eyes. It's a small, intentional moment of pause and presence.
