Each Friday, 18 minutes before sunset, everything stops and we usher in the Shabbat with the lighting of the candles. Rebbetzin Rivkah Denburg of Boca Raton shares some personal thoughts on the meaning of lighting the Shabbat candles
The Shabbos candle lighting campaign has yielded far-reaching results. One example from the
many reports we received: A little girl, five or six years old, attended a non-religious school in
Israel. One day, an older girl spoke to her class about the Mitzvah of Shabbos candles. She
taught them the blessings, and gave them candles and candlesticks to take home.
