Safed Candles Gallery

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:40:16

If you’ve ever wondered how Shabbat, Havdalah and Chanukah candles are braided and decorated, drop by this emporium to watch an expert candlemaker at work. Other waxy highlights include the world’s largest braided Havdalah candle (it’s got 180 strands) and a gloriously gory mini-diorama showing David holding aloft the severed head of Goliath – a masterwork of kitsch! Situated 50m down an alley from the Ashkenazi Ari Synagogue.
