Shop ArtScroll’s Havdalah Candle Collection
At ArtScroll, we recognize the profound significance of the Havdalah ceremony in Jewish tradition, marking the transition from the sanctity of Shabbos to the rest of the week.. Central to this ritual is the Havdalah candle, a unique, multi-wicked light that symbolizes the distinction between the holy and the mundane.
Halachic Significance of the Havdalah Candle
The use of a Havdalah candle is deeply rooted in Halachah. According to Jewish law, the candle used during Havdalah should have multiple wicks, resembling a torch, to produce a significant light. This practice enhances the ceremonial experience, emphasizing the separation between Shabbat and the rest of the week. The Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chayim 298:1) notes the preference for a candle with two or more wicks for Havdalah, highlighting its importance in fulfilling the mitzvah properly.
