Bring Israel into your home with an elegant havdalah set housed in a beautiful wooden box made by Craft’s Origin on the farm in Givat Nili in northern Israel.
Havdalah is a Jewish religious ceremony that marks the symbolic end of Shabbat and ushers in the new week. The ritual involves lighting a special havdalah candle with several wicks, blessing a cup of wine, and smelling sweet spices.
The Havdalah Set includes:
- A keepsake wooden box with a magnetic closure.
- A notched glass jar with a mixture of perfume resins and herbs.
- A simple Craft’s Origin matchbox.
- A Hebrew script for Havdalah.
Craft’s Origin makes their Havdallah candle using an ancient candlemaking technique. The Havdallah candle comprises ten 100% natural beeswax tapers woven together. Jewish tradition requires at least two wicks for a Havdalah candle. Craft’s Origin’s havdalah candle features six. The tapers are hand-dipped, and the wicks are made from cotton thread.
The Havdalah candle is made from surplus beeswax from Israel’s beekeeping industry. It is a practical and beautiful way to give new life to a surplus commodity that would otherwise be thrown away.
The sacred scent in the Havdalah set comprises tree resins and herbs. It uses traditional perfume-making techniques and is a lovely addition to your Havdalah service. The glass container is notched, and you do not need to open the jar to smell the perfume.
This stunning Havdalah Set makes a wonderful gift for friends and loved ones and is a practical solution for traveling for Shabbat.
