At candle lighting on Shabbat (or whenever feels right), leave your votive candle unlit.
Think about the warriors, sending warm vibes and prayers their way.
Once a year on Infertility Awareness Shabbat, we will all come together to light our Onecandles in gratitude for our prayers that were answered. And continue to pray for those still on their journeys.

Ayala Gross of @bocababycompany started OneCandle during her own fertility journey and brought this beautiful project to Yesh Tikva in 2021. OneCandle is a beautiful way to show up in an active yet quiet way for those on complex family-building journeys. The hope is that when we set out our own candles and pray on behalf of those dreaming of growing their families God will answer our prayers for those struggling to conceive.

OneCandle Lucite Votive
A simple candle can bring light to a room. One candle shared can bring light to a community.
The OneCandle Lucite Votive was created to honor the power of connection, compassion, and collective support. Inspired by Yesh Tikva’s OneCandle initiative, this meaningful keepsake serves as a reminder that no one should have to navigate infertility, loss, or a complex family-building journey alone.
Designed to hold a standard tealight or votive candle, the OneCandle Lucite Votive is intended to remain unlit while praying for or supporting someone facing infertility or family-building challenges. When that individual or family welcomes their baby, the candle can then be lit in celebration of hope, perseverance, and new beginnings.
Each votive comes with the Yesh Tikva fertility prayer card, offering a thoughtful way to participate in the mitzvah of supporting those on their journey to parenthood. Whether displayed in a home, office, synagogue, or community space, it serves as a powerful symbol of compassion, faith, and connection.
Perfect as a meaningful gift, community initiative item, or personal reminder that even a single light can make a difference.
