Offer a quiet prayer for someone on their path to parenthood,
a mitzvah of compassion wrapped in community.
In collaboration with us, Yesh Tikva Board Member Ayala Gross of @bocababycompany started #OneCandle during her own fertility journey. OneCandle is an act of protest and a plea for miracles. 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.
Purchase or set out a votive and sign up for the prayer list.
Prayers and names of 3-5 warriors facing infertility will be delivered straight to your email inbox.
At candle lighting on Shabbat, leave your votive candle unlit.
Think about the warriors, sending warm vibes and prayers their way.
We will inform you when the warrior’s prayers have been answered, and then you may light your candle.

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.
