| Many supermarkets have them. I'd try Star because I believe they are
Jewish owned (as if that made much difference in what they stock :-).
I haven't heard that many Jews live in Chelmsford, but Acton markets
should be serving a good-sized Jewish customer base.
If you can't find anything, there are synogogues in either Concord or
Acton that should be able to help out.

| Star is not Jewish owned. At least that's what I've been told every year
after Pesach (you're not allowed to buy chametz that was owned by a Jew
on Pesach).

| 1039.3 | Shaw's, I think | CADSYS::HECTOR::RICHARDSON | | Mon Jan 28 1991 22:03 | 5 |
| I'm pretty sure that the Shaw's in Hudson near HLO has them (I bought a
bunch of them last time I was in Brookline, so I'm not completely
positive, although I do know for sure that they have Shabbas candles).

| 1039.5 | Here's two more | DOCTP::REINSCHMIDT | Marlene, TAY1-2/C3, DTN 227-4466 | Tue Jan 29 1991 04:09 | 6 |
| The Triple A food store in Gould's Plaza, Acton, and Donelan's,
Littleton, have them. Both food stores are on the south side of Rt.
2A. The Triple A is a mile or two east of Rt. 27; Donelan's is just a
mile east of Rt. 495 (near LKG).

| What are these candles used for?

| 1039.8 | They mark the anniversary of a death | DECSIM::HAMAN::GROSS | The bug stops here | Mon Apr 08 1991 17:31 | 10 |
| I believe "yahrzeit" is a Yiddish word from the same root as "year".
The candles are lit at sundown to mark each anniversary (according to
the Hebrew calendar) of the death of someone close to you. The candle
is designed to burn for just about 24 hours. It is also customary to
go to synagog services and say the kaddish prayer that evening.
There may be other times when these candles are lit as a sign of
mourning. Someone else will have to supply that because I don't know.

| Yahrzeit if translated "literally" means "year time". The correct translation
is anniversary and in particular the anniversary of a death (as determined by
the Jewish calendar).

| 1039.10 | holidays, too | CADSYS::HECTOR::RICHARDSON | | Mon Apr 08 1991 20:00 | 11 |
| They are also lit on the last day of major holidays (the day of the
yizkor service). Some people light special yellow candles for Yom
Hashoah (Holocaust Rememberance Day - which starts this Wednesday
night, I think); the regular candles are white.
The candles normally burn for a good deal longer than 24 hours. I flet
funny last summer when the one I lit for my father did not burn for 24
hours - I wondered if I ought to write a nasty letter to Rokeach, but I
guess it was an isolated incident.
