#Shabbat #Shalom! Shabbat candles are lit by Jewish women and girls (or men, when there are no women present) 18 minutes before sunset on Friday afternoon or on the eve of Jewish holidays, often in the dining room where the festive holiday meal will soon take place. Why We Light Them The Torah enjoins us to “honor the Shabbat and call it a delight.” Now one element of this “delight” is to have candles lit. In addition to creating a bright and cheery ambiance, the candles ensure that we don’t spend the evening stumbling around in the dark. The Torah clearly tells us that we may not kindle fire on Shabbat. So the key is to light the delight-giving candles before the onset of the day. Lighting #Shabbat_candles is one of the seven rabbinic commandments. The mystics explain that Shabbat is the day that brings illumination to our world, which so often seems to be dark and negative. Furthermore, candles are a metaphor for Torah and for the human soul. The Shabbat candles represent the light we introduce into the world through studying Torah and observing its precepts. And they also represent the additional soul that our sages say we are given on Shabbat. When We Light Them Candles are lit to honor Shabbat, #Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, #Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret/Simchat Torah, Passover and Shavuot. In order to be sure that we do not kindle fire on Shabbat, the standard practice is to light the candles 18 minutes before the sun sets and the holy day begins (some communities do so even earlier). On holidays, when it is permitted to light one flame from another flame that was already lit, the candles can be lit even after sunset, provided that we do not strike a match and create a flame. When a holiday follows Shabbat or another holiday, the candles must be lit after nightfall. Who and How Many? The basic custom is that the woman of the house lights two candles. Many women have the custom to add an additional candle for each child. A woman who neglected to light the candles one week also adds an additional candle from then on. The age-old custom was that young girls also lit candles. This custom was all but lost in the poverty and displacement that followed World War I. (at Jerusalem, Israel)

Shabbat Shalom! June 8 2018 Sivan 25, 5778 Light Candles at 7:03 PM (Jerusalem time). Shabbat Ends: June 10, 2018 Sivan 26, 5778 8:23 PM Torah Reading: Shlach Moses sends twelve spies (one from each tribe) to the Land of Canaan (the former name of the Land of Israel) to see what the land and its people are like. The spies tour the whole land and when they come back after forty days they tell the people that it is indeed a land "flowing with milk and honey." But, they add, the people in it are very strong and the cities have huge walls like fortresses, and "we even saw giants." And they tell the Jews that the land would be much too difficult to conquer. Even though two of the spies, Joshua and Caleb, disagree with the rest, saying that the land is very good and they can surely conquer it, the Jews believe those with the bad report, and they cry out to Moses that they don't want to go. G‑d is furiously angry and wants to kill all the Jews, but Moses begs him not to, reminding Him that He is a G‑d of mercy. So G‑d agrees to spare the Jews but says that, because they complained, except for Joshua and Caleb, none of these people will go into the land; they will all die in the desert. Then he tells Moses to turn around from the direction they were going, and head towards the desert.
