Passover Candles
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are candles lit for the Passover Seder?
▼
Just as we welcome Shabbat with light, we light Seder candles to mark the transition from the ordinary week into the sacred space of the holiday. Lighting candles at the start of the Seder symbolizes the warmth, joy, and spiritual freedom we celebrate throughout the night.
When should I light my Seder candles?
▼
Seder candles should be lit just before the holiday begins, as the sun sets on April 1, 2026, to welcome the festival of freedom.
How do I choose the right Passover candles for my table?
▼
Ultimately, this comes down to your taste. We've curated a truly unique range - our handcrafted candles from Israel, like our Safed sets, offer a beautiful connection to the land, while decorative options like our "Matzah Ball Soup" scented candle add a playful, modern touch.
Can I use decorative Passover candles as a host gift?
