Candleroom | Handmade soaps and candles Shabazi Street’s newest addition is artisan soap and candle store Candleroom. Owners Lily and Lior Finkelstein transferred their Jaffa store to Neve Tzedek, after founding their brand in 2013. Candleroom is a local natural fragrance laboratory that makes candles with beeswax, soy wax, and essential oils. The design language is minimalistic and refined, giving center stage to natural, raw materials, like wood and iron, creating an atmosphere of elegance and sophistication. In addition to candles, soaps, and essentials oils, you can also find beautiful linen aprons and towels here, as well as ceramic

candle burners, candlesticks, and more. candleroomshop.com, @candleroom

Sipur Pashut | An independent bookstore like no other Roni Schwartz Kramer’s dream of opening a neighborhood bookstore in Neve Tzedek finally came true in 2003 when she met Mira Reshti, with whom she has been managing the store ever since. Named “Sipur Pashut” after the book by S.Y. Agnon who lived and worked in this neighborhood, the store was founded with the aim to be a veritable platform for writers and creators and allow readers and writers to meet and exchange. The store has survived moments of great difficulty and competition with the big retail chains, but its magic lies in its extraordinary selection of books both in Hebrew and in English, and the many literary and cultural gatherings held throughout the year, as well as writing workshops, reading evenings, and book launches. It is also the official home of the Granta magazine for local and international literature. @sipurpashut
