Soul Candles: Ner Neshamot & Reclaiming Ancestral Ashkenazi Traditions of Kevermestn
Join Der Nister, Jewitches and Rabbi Janet Madden for a guided ritual in reclaiming the traditions of our Ashkenazi ancestors.
Ner Neshamot (ner neshomes in Yiddish) is an ancient Ashkenazi practice of creating soul candles for the Holiest Day of the year, Yom Kippur. These candles would be made by Feldmesterin, learned women whose title was cemetery measurer, as they would encircle the local cemeteries, winding threads that would become wicks.
These sacred threads connect the living to the Holy Dead who intercede on our behalf with the One on High during this time of Judgement.
Just one of many practices thrown out with the bathwater in the race to modernise Judaism, we gather to unwind, rewind, and reclaim these traditions in a new and profound way.
Tickets are available in a limited amount.
