Interested in purchasing a Numa Yizkor candle? Click this LINK to pre-order a special candle for this coming Yizkor. JWell now offers numa candles — the first scented, aromatherapy-based, 100% vegan memorial candles. Hand-poured in New York and designed to burn for 24-28 hours, numa honors the longstanding tradition of lighting a candle for a full day in remembrance of a loved one, while bringing scent, design, and ritual together with intention. Lighting a memorial candle and saying a loved one's name aloud creates a dedicated moment to pause, reflect, and connect. In Jewish tradition this can be understood as an act of chesed shel emet (חסד של אמת), a true act of care given without expectation of reward or recognition. Unlike many communal mourning practices, it can be done privately, wherever you are and at any point in your grieving process.
