'I used the shabbat small candles for Yom Kippur—had 40 people for dinner and the candles were beautiful!'

'The Kapula candles fit well in our museum shops. Our customers love the story of the women that make the candles, and the fact that each one is hand painted. The candles sell well all year.'
