What are Soul Candles?

The Soul Candles candlemaking tradition has been passed down through "tkhines," Yiddish collections of prayers by and for women. Soul Candles are made to both honor ancestors and protect the living. Said while spinning wick into candles, these tkhines prayers capture the ritual of Jewish Russian and other Eastern European memorial candlemaking during the high holy day season. Burned during Yom Kippur and throughout the year, their lighting awakens the souls of ancestors and calls on them to pray for the well-being of the living. Making ritual candles at this time is an opportunity to connect with ancestors, mourn recent losses, and pray for the year to come. Tkhines have been largely, though not completely, obscured historically by Patriarchy and Christian Dominance. With this kit, we bring the tkhines of Jewish women into our lives and hold them up to shine brightly.
