The Jerusalem Candle of Hope is a lovely hurricane-style pillar candle and a joint venture between Israeli and Palestinian women. This hollow cylinder made of finely blended beeswax and handcrafted by Israeli women, it is embedded with olive leaves and indigenous everlasting flowers. It arrives with an exquisitely embroidered bag stitched by Palestinian women that contains a simple tealight candle that sits inside the larger candle and extends its life. When lit, the Jerusalem Candle of Hope offers a gentle, evanescent glow and because the tealight is easily replaced when it burns out, creates an enduring symbol of peace and reconciliation. The Jerusalem Candle of Hope is a unique joint venture between Israeli and Palestinian women. Your purchase of this special candle helps bring economic stability to Palestinian and Israeli families and through a donation of 5% supports the Parents Circle, an organization of 500 Israeli and Palestinian families who have all lost family members in the conflict and now focus on reconciliation and healing.
