We’ve all seen pumpkin spice candles. And I’ve even seen bacon candles. But there is a candle company in Ann Arbor producing an entire series of Rosh Hashanah and Sukkot themed candles.
Not sure what to bring to Aunt Ida’s house this season? The answer is clearly a tzimmes candle, or one of their other signature scents including apples and honey, pomegranate and even lulav and etrog! You can order one of the signature scents here on Etsy.
I am hoping there might be a sufganiyot-inspired candle for Hanukkah. Or haroset for Passover. Or sweet noodle kugel, ya know, just cause who wouldn’t want their whole house to smell like sweet kugel all the time.
kugel
Prounounced: KOO-gull (oo as in book), Origin: Yiddish, traditional Ashkenazi casserole frequently made with egg noodles or potatoes.
lulav
Pronounced: LOO-lahv (oo as in boo), Origin: Hebrew, a bundle of branches representing three species — willow, myrtle and palm — which are shaken together with the etrog on Sukkot.
Rosh Hashanah
Pronounced: roshe hah-SHAH-nah, also roshe ha-shah-NAH, Origin: Hebrew, the Jewish new year.
Sukkot
Pronounced: sue-KOTE, or SOOH-kuss (oo as in book), Origin: Hebrew, a harvest festival in which Jews eat inside temporary huts, falls in the Jewish month of Tishrei, which usually coincides with September or October.
