Why a Braided Havdalah Candle?
The Havdalah candle is unique: it must have more than one wick so that it produces a large, torch-like flame. The braided, multi-wick candle is lit as we recite the bracha "Borei me'orei ha'eish," acknowledging the creation of fire at the start of the new week. If a braided candle is unavailable, two candles can be held together so their flames join.
What to Look for in a Havdalah Candle Holder
A good holder keeps the braided candle steady, catches dripping wax to protect your table, and presents the flame beautifully. Lucite and acrylic holders add a clean, modern look while standing up to weekly use.
