Light Festival Candles


Girls and all women that are in the house (or if there isn't a woman in the house, the head of the household), light candles to usher in each night of the holiday. Follow this link for detailed holiday candle-lighting time information.

Blessings for September 29 and 30, 2008:

1) Ba-ruch A-tah Ado-nai E-lo-hei-nu me-lech ha-olam asher ki-deshanu be-mitzvo-tav ve-tzvi-vanu le-hadlik ner shel Yom Hazikaron.

Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and has commanded us to light the candle of the Day of Remembrance.

[Note: When reciting the following blessing on the second night of the holiday, one should have in mind the new fruit which one will subsequently be eating after Kiddush.]

2) Ba-ruch A-tah Ado-nai E-lo-hei-nu me-lech ha-olam she-heche-ya-nu ve-ki-yi-ma-nu ve-higi-a-nu liz-man ha-zeh

Blessed are You, Lord our G-d, King of the universe, who has granted us life, sustained us, and enabled us to reach this occasion.

Thank you...
We, too, live in a place with no Jews- Landgraff, southern West Virginia. And BOY does it get lonely here, esp. at the Holidays! We might as well be on the moon! Thank you for being there, and for being my Jewish "life-lines"...

Thanks for this website
Thanks for your website. I live in a medium sized city with only one shul. I am not welcome at the temple for being an Orthodox Jew. I am "too Jewish", wearing tzit-tzit and a kipa in public. Without this Chabad website life would be a total bore

A blessing on your heads
I live in a town with a small Jewish population that is very divided. Thank you for providing a place for me to feel connected - it fulfills a deep need and I am extremely grateful.
