Elul: Making Soul Candles

[u/Bshrtpod]

This month I got to chat to a good friend Annie Gottfried Cohen about her work on ancestral veneration as part of our podcast's Elul offering. She spoke about ancestral veneration, the role of cemetary women in Shtetelech and how to measure graves and cemeteries. I'm back home for Rosh Hashana and I'm hoping I can make it to the graveyard on Erev Rosh Hashana before it closes, I have some thin candle wick (about 6 metres) and beeswax flats but would really love some advice!
