Proverbs 20:27
The craft

Stone that has held prayers for three thousand years.

Cut, honed, and carved by hand. No two stones share the same grain.

For a family

The same flame, in every home.

Many families keep a stone for each parent. Siblings order one per household, engraved identically, so the same flame is lit in every home on the same night.

Each stone arrives in its own box, with its own first candle.

Begin their stone
Every year after

The candle finds you.

The yahrzeit moves with the Hebrew calendar. You don't need to chase it. A week before, that year's candle arrives with the card — their photograph, their dates, and the Kaddish.

Questions

Before you begin

We don't know their Hebrew name. +
Most families don't. Send us what you know — their English name, a parent's name, anything from a ketubah or an old prayer book — and we'll find it together, or help you choose one with care. There is no charge for this.
We only know the English date. +
That's all we need. We convert it to the Hebrew date, engrave both, and time each year's candle to the correct day.
Can my siblings each have one? +
Yes — many families order one stone per household, engraved identically, so the same flame is lit in every home on the same night. Write to us and we'll arrange the set.
How long does it take to arrive? +
Each stone is engraved to order and arrives within three weeks. If a yahrzeit is near, tell us — we'll do everything we can to reach you before the evening.
Is this appropriate as a gift? +
For a first yahrzeit, the close of shiva, or a parent who carries a memory alone — there may be no more appropriate gift. No prices in the box, and we'll include a note in your words.

The candle burns for a day.
