Memorial candle and dedication
Light a candle and write a few words in memory of someone you loved. The dedication is free, is shown on the candle wall after a short review, and stays here beside Ofek's candle.

Frequently asked questions
Does a dedication cost money?
No. The dedication is free and is not conditional on a donation. Anyone who wishes can donate to Ofek LaChaim separately, but it is not a condition for showing the candle.
What is published on the candle wall?
Only the name and the text you wrote. Email and phone, if you gave them, are used to contact you in case of a question and are never shown.
How long until the dedication is shown?
Every dedication goes through a short review and is usually approved within a day or two. Once approved it appears on the candle wall and in the row of candles at the bottom of the site's pages.
