When
my father died, I wanted to honor his memory and my grief through the
traditional ritual of lighting a Shiva candle. The only Shiva candle
available to me was made in Israel. In that moment, Israel's
monopoly on Judaica broke my heart, adding the tremendous weight of
participation in Palestinian genocide to my already overwhelming
loss.
I want to tell a story in which Jews are not bound to a nation built on oppression, or the building of a nation at all, but kindle our traditions of radicalism and justice wherever we are. Through Narrow Bridge Candles, I seek to create more space for ritual with integrity and liberatory potential.
For those of us acting in solidarity with Palestine, there is much work to be done. Palestinian Civil Society has put forth a clear and unified call for Boycotting, Divesting from, and Sanctioning Israel (BDS). Boycotting Israeli goods by itself will not be enough to decolonize Palestine. However, BDS can be, perhaps, a narrow bridge; a clear and sturdy path forward.
Narrow Bridge Candles currently offers Hanukah, Shabbat and Havdalah candles. Im still working on Yartzeit and Shiva candles. All candles are made from 100% unfiltered beeswax from hives in Oakland and Berkeley from the Bee Healthy Honey Shop in Oakland. There is no added dye or fragrance.
All candles are hand dipped with love.
10% of the profits of Narrow Bridge Candles go to support the Stop the JNF Campaign.

Thank you for supporting Narrow Bridge Candles to grow participation in the struggle for a free Palestine and investment in radical, rooted, global Jewish communities.
