A candelabra that belonged to my great-grandmother Rose is my artifact. She was born in Minsk, which at the time was a part of Russia. She then got married and relocated to Poland. Her mother-in-law and father-in-law gave her the candelabra, which served as a shabbat candle holder, as a wedding gift. She and my great grandfather immigrated to the US in 1935, the year before my grandfather was born. With that candelabra, lighting Shabbat candles had become a Friday night custom. After Rose passed away when my grandfather was just 17, he inherited the candelabra. After marrying my grandmother he gave it to her and she still uses it every Friday night to light Shabbat candles. The candelabra will eventually pass to me, and I will use it to light the candles for Shabbat on Friday nights.  After I inherit it I will be the fourth generation of woman in my family to use it for shabbat.
