Easy one but I'll let others give it a try before answering.

I know. It's an item that may be encountered in a Jewish/Messianic person’s home. That cannot be a wrong answer. What do I win?

It's not a pile of foreskins, is it?

That is, unless you want the other, I might know a guy that can get them if you want.

Uh, I'm good.

You sure? It is at a cut rate price…

Hmm, any from celebrities?

(I mean I'm not assuming you're connected with Hollywood or anything, you know, but you never know.)

 

[Chesterton]

Oh, a cut rate. I just now got it.

 

[ChavaK]

I saw you replied and I’m thinking “NOOOOOOOO! I only have two pictures so far!!!!”

LOL.....however to be fair, it may not be found in Messianic homes as I have read that many do not use it.

A Havdalah candle.

Why is it made that way? Is there a reason for making it with all the separate strands like that?

It must consist of at least two wicks, so you can actually hold two separate candles close together and use those in a pinch. Most commonly you see braided candles. There are probably mystical reasons for using braided candles, but I don't know what they are.
