Our Story

 

As founder, maker, and the soul behind Nahsh Selah, I’d like to first and foremost thank you for joining me on this journey. 

My journey began as a search for stillness in the midst of loss and chaos. In the quiet that followed, I found myself reaching for meaning—and candles became the answer. Soon I began creating them myself so I could not only experiment with different fragrances, but also ensure the ingredients were safe and natural. What started as a single soy wax candle became something more: a way to honor memory, process grief, and find moments of peace through a ritual of flame, scent, and craft.

Nahsh Selah is more than a brand. It’s a tribute to legacy, to my late husband Nahshon B. Cohen—whose light continues to guide me. His name lives in the very foundation of this space. Through Nahsh, we move forward with courage. Through Selah, we pause to reflect. His life is a daily reminder why this all matters.

Each handcrafted product is an invitation to reconnect—with yourself, your space, your intentions. Whether it’s the soft crackle of a wick, the gentle fragrance in the air, or the drift of incense, I want these pieces to be more than sensory—they are small rituals of Selahs.

At the heart of it all is a simple call: Pause. Reflect. Manifest. 

Let scent become a memory keeper. Let stillness become a practice. Let beauty carry meaning. Thank you for being here, for making space, and for helping me carry this light forward.

With warmth and gratitude,

~Allana
