Thank you for the run down. As a non- orthodox Jew, this description of daily "events" was very illuminating and useful for me.

The blessings in Hebrew
Here are the same four blessings in Hebrew:

1)
ברוך אתה ה' א‑לוהינו מלך העולם אשר קדשנו במצותיו וצונו להדליק נר של שבת קודש.

(2
ברוך אתה ה' א‑לוהינו מלך העולם אשר קדשנו במצותיו וצונו להדליק נר של יום טוב.

(3
3) ברוך אתה ה' א‑לוהינו מלך העולם אשר קדשנו במצותיו וצונו להדליק נר של שבת ושל יום טוב.

(4
ברוך אתה ה' א‑לוהינו מלך העולם שהחינו וקיימנו והגענו לזמן הזה.‏

Thanks
My background is limited and I can see from the site that I'm omitting many steps, but I'm growing. In particular, I came to the site wondering if I should be lighting candles for Passover. I now have my answer and the prayers. Many thanks.
