Intro

Honor a loved one's memory with a candle holder cut from blackened brass and inscribed in gold with the words "Ner HaShem Nishmat Adam," the verse likening the soul to a candle. The wavy silhouette gives the flame a soft, sheltered glow through its curved opening. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has shaped Jewish ritual objects for over two decades.

Build and Use

Lit to mark a yahrzeit or a period of mourning, the holder gives the flame a steady, contained setting. Formed from blackened brass with the inscription rendered in gold, it measures about 6" wide, 2.5" deep, and 4" tall. The curved opening at its center holds a standard tealight candle.

Gift Ideas

A gift given quietly, this memorial candle holder suits someone observing a yahrzeit or sitting shiva. It also makes a meaningful gift for a family building a home library of ritual objects, or for someone seeking a lasting way to mark a loss. Its restrained design keeps it fitting for a solemn occasion.

Care Instructions

Wipe the brass surface with a soft, dry cloth to keep its finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can dull the blackened surface and the gold inscription.
