My relatives used it to study for Passover. It reminds me of my family being Jewish. It means that my family passed down this Jewish tradition over the years.
It helps me obtain my Jewish heritage by reminding me that my ancestors were Jewish and that I will follow in their footsteps.
My grandmother received it from an antique exhibit and passed it on to us when she passed. This candlestick is important because it symbolizes our happiness.
It belonged to my great-great-great grandfather who was a very observant Jew who prayed with this tefillin multiple times a day.
