SPICE BOXES

A container for fragrant spices (the besamin), usually cloves. Used during the Havdala ceremony, which separates the Sabbath from the rest of the week. According to a tradition a person receives a special soul at the beginning of the Shabbat, which leaves him/her at the end. Nice smell of the spice makes this sad experience little bit more pleasant. Frequently spice boxes are modeled after turreted towers of castles.
