Information About Shabbat Gifts

When it comes to celebrating Shabbat, at jJudaica we have everything you need.

In Judaism, Shabbat is known as the 'day of rest'. This special day begins from sunset on Friday evening, and goes until after sunset on Saturday evening. There are many special Jewish customs that make Shabbat a special day, and it is a day that is spent going to the synagogue, spending time with family and friends and eating festive meals. To welcome the Shabbat, Shabbat candles are lit in the home and everyone greets each other with "Shabbat Shalom". After everyone returns from shul there is a ceremony of Kiddush, hand washing and eating the challah.

At jJudaica we have the perfect gifts for Shabbat. The Shabbat candlesticks that are lit in the home bring a special light of joy and serenity to the home. We have a beautiful range of candlesticks to suit every taste. From the Israeli artist Yair Emanuel there are wooden hand painted candlesticks, then there are a beautiful range of stained glass and glass candlesticks. And for those who want something more traditional we have silver candle sticks. We also have travel candlesticks, so you can welcome Shabbat wherever you go.
