In homes across Israel, the lighting of Shabbat candles marks the moment the week comes to a close and a different kind of time begins. This set is arranged so that moment begins in your home with clarity and intention.
The candles are made from 100% natural beeswax, formed by hand using methods established in 1992. The wax gives off a light, natural scent, and when lit, it produces an even flame and a warm, consistent light. Beeswax candles of this kind have been used for generations in homes and in places of prayer, where the quality of the flame and the material itself both matter.
This set includes two beeswax tea lights placed in glass holders, along with two rolled beeswax candles. A printed card is included, containing the blessing traditionally recited during candle lighting. Each element is arranged within the box with a clear place, allowing the contents to remain ordered from the moment it is opened.
The box opens like a bound volume and reveals a printed map of Israel across the inside panel. The candles and accompanying pieces rest within a fitted compartment, surrounded by protective wrapping. The presentation is structured and deliberate, so opening the box becomes part of the experience.
Set the candles in place, open the box, and begin with that first moment of light.
The map of Israel appears inside the box, placing the setting of this tradition directly within your home.

Shabbat Beeswax Candle Set
Craft’s Origin is a boutique Israeli company located in an agricultural settlement, Givat Nili, in northern Israel. It combines art, agriculture, and sustainability with traditional designs and collaborations with other small boutique companies.
The family at the heart of Craft’s Origin is the next generation of farmers living on Moshav Givat Nili. After time away from the family farm’s verdant offering, they returned with a desire to find new ways to use the surplus harvest from the peach, nectarine, and olive trees. To use all that was left from the vineyard’s harvest and raise awareness for the essential role bees play in a farmer’s life.
They make beautiful beeswax candles by hand, revive ancient crafts of the Holy Land, support farming edible greens, and maintain a bee farm. They are researching ways to use surplus peaches to manufacture 100% natural unrefined peach kernel oil.
The Craft’s Origin family weaves together old, modern, renewable, and ancient agriculture to preserve the Holy Land’s traditions and beauty.
