The short answer
- Shabbat candlesticks are the classic wedding gift: in many families the bride receives her first pair before the wedding.
- A Kiddush cup with its matching plate is ready for the couple's first Friday night at home.
- A Havdalah set completes the Shabbat table, from the candles on Friday to Havdalah on Saturday night.
- A mezuzah case suits the front door of their first home. The parchment scroll is bought separately from a scribe.
- Giving together? Choose pieces in one color and finish for a matching Shabbat table.
Why Judaica makes a lasting wedding gift
Most wedding gifts are used up or put away. Candlesticks, a Kiddush cup and a Havdalah set are used every week, and they often stay in the family for a generation. A handmade piece also carries the giver's choice of color and finish, so it feels personal.
Shabbat candlesticks
In many families the bride receives her first pair of Shabbat candlesticks before the wedding and lights them every week after. Our pairs come in 925 silver-plated and gold-plated glass in three heights, and in artisanal all-glass designs. A matching tray catches the wax and protects the tablecloth.

A Kiddush cup and plate
A Kiddush cup with its matching glass plate is a complete gift for the couple's Friday night Kiddush. Some guests give two cups. Our cups are handmade glass or ceramic with a 925 silver-plated or gold-plated rim, and one tall design carries the Bore Pri HaGafen blessing.

A Havdalah set
A Havdalah set gives the couple everything for the ceremony that ends Shabbat: a cup, a spice box and a candle holder on a matching tray. It pairs well with candlesticks in the same color.

A mezuzah for their first home
A mezuzah case for the front door marks the couple's first home together. Our cases are kudu, ram or oryx horn plated in 925 silver, and clear glass. The case does not include the parchment scroll, which is bought separately from a qualified scribe.
Giving together
If friends or family are giving together, choose several pieces in one color and finish: candlesticks, a Kiddush cup and a Havdalah set make a matching Shabbat table. We make them in many of the same colors.
Every piece is made to order in Israel. Allow up to 14 business days before it ships, and order a few weeks early before a holiday. Shipping is ₪35 within Israel and $45 anywhere else, or collect from our gallery in Karnei Shomron.
