Resistance and Renewal
We pause to take a step out of this tumultuous year, the months and news cycles that collide into each other.
We reflect on last year’s grief and joys. On Rosh Hashanah, tradition tells us our fate for the coming year is written in the Book of Life, and on Yom Kippur it is sealed—what will we commit to building in the coming year that might change the course of our own lives, and how will we commit ourselves to movements for justice in the year to come?

Soul Candles Ritual Kit
With this kit, we bring the tkhines of Jewish women into our lives and hold them up to shine brightly.
The Soul Candles candle making 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 women’s memorial candle making during the High Holy Day season. Jonah Aline Daniel, Rabbi Ariana Katz, and Rebekah Erev have partnered in the past handful of years to explore thkines and the Soul Candles traditions through text, ritual, art, research, prayer and craft. The kit includes all the wick, wax, and ritual guidance required to participate in the ritual fully.
(Pictured is the 5779 Soul Candles Kit.) The 5780 kits build on the the 5779 kits with even more ritual and artistic offerings.
