“Or & Ahavah” (Hebrew for “Light & Love”) was created during a dramatic rise in antisemitism, and is the first and only company exclusively dedicated to celebrating Jewish culture through Jewish-inspired scented candles and wax melts, and soon other self-care items.

Or & Ahavah wants to fill your

home with scents that make you smile and reflect. This is especially meaningful when you think about the prevalence and symbolism of candles in Judaism: candlelight is a reminder of G-d’s presence; the candle’s flame is a representation of the soul and serves as a reminder of the beauty of life; and candles are equated with honor and joy, with the belief that there can be no peace without light.

Keeping your health in mind

Or & Ahavah candles (and wax melts) are Jewish-mother approved. Why? Because they are “clean” candles made with high-quality ingredients that don’t contain any of the meshugas found in many candles on the market (NO toxins, lead, petroleum byproducts, phthalates, additives, or dyes). The candles contain 100% all-natural Kosher soy wax, are scented with essential oil blends, and have cotton wicks. Each candle is handcrafted by a nice Jewish girl, made with ahavah, and contains a healthy dose of chutzpah.

Giving back to the community

Tikkun olam is a Jewish concept of behaving and acting in a way that benefits society. Being a light and spreading light is something we strive for every day. We care about the world around us and the people in it; doing good for the community, through tzedakah (or charitable giving), is one way we are giving back. We have rotating non-profit organizations we donate to for causes that spark positive change. With each purchase, you are helping us spread the light. From the bottom of our hearts, todah rabah.
