The Yellow Candle Project, managed by Maccabi GB, is a practical and informal educational tool to remember Jewish Holocaust victims on Yom HaShoah, and broaden participants’ understanding of the Holocaust, in the safe space of their homes. 

 

The project aims to distribute yellow remembrance candles to as many individuals in the community as possible; alongside each Yellow Candle, a card with the name, age, date, and place of death of someone who perished in the Holocaust is enclosed. Participants are invited to share images of their lit candles on social media on the eve of Yom HaShoah, thereby creating a modern-day collective communal memorial.

​

The 2024 project will see the continuation of ‘Remembrance to Renewal,’ where each Yellow Candle will come with Dwarf Sunflower Seeds. We are encouraging the community to keep their empty Yellow Candle Tin, plant a seed for the future, to help us all remember the past.

 

Maccabi GB will be charging £3.50 for each Yellow Candle plus £3.25 postage and packaging. Please note, this is for first class postage, to ensure your Yellow Candle arrives on time.

 

Please note, that to ensure we meet the demands of the community, there is a maximum of five Yellow Candles per order.
