“Ner Katan” Six-Candle Set

A package of six Yellow Candles is available for individual use or communal observances that need six candles, one for each of the Six Million.  Observances on Kristallnacht or other important Shoah dates are all enabled.  Ner Katan Candles can be ordered at any time.  The cost is $18 per set, including shipping to any address in North America.  Even if your family didn't lose a member in the Shoah, you can light one for the tens of thousands of our people who have no one left to light a yahrzeit candle for them.

Two Yellow Candles can be accommodated in one white shipping container, by placing them sideways inside the box.  Organizations can choose to distribute two Candles to each member, one for use on Yom HaShoah and the second for use at Yizkor times or for family Yahrzeits.

 

Linking with the Next Generation

Linking up with other children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors, through organizations such as Generations of Shoah International.

 

Sample Appeal Letters

A cover letter, enclosed with the candle, to explain the purpose of your congregants receiving the candle, can often make a major impact on the success of your program.  To download a MS Word formatted sample, which you can modify for your club's use, click here.  To download a pdf of the same letter, click here.
