Shabbat and Holiday B'rachahMate
Nothing holds a candle to it.
Shabbat and Holidays are time out of our everyday lives; time to catch our breath and celebrate with family and friends. And yet, how can you catch your breath when you're worried about catching dripping candle wax? That's where B'rachahMate comes in. It not only keeps wax from ruining your table, it has the candle-lighting blessings for Shabbat and Holidays printed right on it.
So enjoy the celebration. With B'rachahMate time is on your side.
Design
B'rachahMate is available in two beautiful designs: Blue Granite - with silver type; and Natural Marble - with bronze type. Both are 10" x 14" ovals - the perfect size for Shabbat and Holiday candlesticks.
As with all MenorahMate mats, B'rachahMate has a soft backing to prevent scratches on tables and countertops.
Blessings
B'rachahMate has three blessings printed on it. The first is the candle-lighting blessing for Shabbat. The second, for Holidays (Yom Tov) and the third is the Shehecheyanu prayer that is typically said after the candle-lighting blessing on most holidays. (Please note that on Yom Kippur, the correct ending to the blessing is "Yom Ha'Kipurim" rather than "Yom Tov".)
And clean up is so easy
To remove wax from your B'rachahMate, just place it flat in the freezer for a couple of hours until the wax hardens. Then just gently flex the mat where the wax has dripped and frozen and it will pop or chip right off. If multi-colored candles are used, it is possible that the wax may leave a bit of a stain on the mat. If this happens, try using a little acetone (nail polish remover). However, certain wax colors may not disappear completely.
