How to Make Havdalah Candles
Two weeks ago, Betsy and one of the Beth El students were learning about havdalah and its blessings, so we decided to make havdalah candles.
After several epic failures involving a toaster oven, hot wax and cigarette lighters, we were finally able to make several four-braid and four-twist havdallah candles. To save other people from having to repeat our finger pains and mistakes, we decided to publish a simple how-to guide.
