A Mold for Making Candles with a Couple of Sabbath Candles by the Admor the Rashab - A cande mold for making DIY eight candles. The process included insering wicks into the mold and tying their edge. Then, the wax was poured in.  This is a candle mold that had belonged to the Admor the Rashab with a couple of candles as a souvenir.  In Sefer HaChassidut 1945, p. 14, on Shabbat Teshuvah, there is a description of Rabboteinu Nessi'einu's custom to make their own candles.  The Rebbe the Rayatz added that the custom did not begin with the Admor Hazaken but was even before him.   Confirmation by Barry Gourarie.  The Exaltation of a Tzaddik's Possessions in Lubavitch Philosophy In his Sichot, the Rebbe frequently glorified the sanctity and spiritual significance of the possessions of a Tzaddik. The Rebbe quotes his father-in-law, the Frierdiker Rebbe: ”The place where [the Tzaddik] studied and engaged in Torah, and all the objects he used for his Avodah, [the Tzaddik's] holiness rests upon them as a result of his Beirur of the world” . The Rebbe explains: ”The life of a Tzaddik is eternal; not only in spiritual matters but also - regarding his physical location and physical possessions (his table, his chair, etc.)... for the holiness of the Tzaddik permeates all of his affairs... the sanctity of the Tzaddik's place and possessions (even after his passing) remains in the same manner as the time when the Tzaddik actually used them, like a soul within a body”. (Likutei Sichot, 32, pp. 19-27). ”Un Farnutsn Gezunterheit” - And Enjoy [Them] in Good Health In the book Bechol Beiti Ne'eman Hu (pp. 539-542), it is recounted that the Chassid Rabbi Zalman Gourarie, who was a collector of Chabad Admorim's possessions, approached the Rebbe at the height of Parashat Hasfarim (1985). When the Rebbe expressed fierce opposition to the possession of books stolen from the Library, Rabbi Zalman feared for the status of his own collection. After describing the origins of his items to the Rebbe, the Rebbe responded with a rare blessing: ”Un farnutsn gezunterheit” (And enjoy them in good health). The Rebbe’s response reflects the unique Segulah and blessing inherent in the holy possessions of the Rebbeim, and the merit of owning them. In contrast, the matter that shook the Rebbe’s soul, leading him to cry out against keeping them in one's home as a ”ticking time bomb, ” referred exclusively to the books that were stolen from the Library.  Placed in a suitcase. The confirmation refers to the device only.
