Start With A Glow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The mitzvah to light candles before the start of Shabbat is an important one. It fulfills the mitzvot of both kavod <\/em>and oneg <\/em>Shabbat.1<\/sup> The added glow also fills the home with a peaceful atmosphere and increases our joy and pleasure.2<\/sup> It is so important to have candles at the Shabbat table that the Sages state that one who does not have enough money to buy a candle should go door to door collecting charity in order to buy it!3<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For The Women<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although anyone can light the Shabbat candles, it is primarily considered the woman\u2019s mitzvah, since she is usually in charge of running the home.4<\/sup> Another reason is that lighting candles is a tikkun <\/em>(spiritual repair) for the sin of Chava, who darkened the world when she caused Adam to eat from the Eitz Hadaat <\/em>(tree of knowledge). Now, every week the Jewish woman has the opportunity to bring light and peace into her home as she lovingly lights her Shabbat candles.5<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The usual time to light is 18 minutes before sunset, but some communities, like Yerushalayim, light even earlier.6<\/sup> The earliest you can light is at plag<\/em> haminchah<\/em>, which is usually about an hour and a few minutes before sunset.7<\/sup> The latest time is just before the sun sets. Once the sun sets, Shabbat has begun, and lighting a fire is forbidden, even if you haven\u2019t yet lit your candles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blessing for lighting Shabbat candles is, \u201cLehadlik ner shel Shabbat.\u201d<\/em> Ashkenazic women first light the candles and then cover their eyes and say the blessing. Once that is said, Shabbat has started for them, and lighting a flame would be forbidden.8<\/sup> Most Sephardic women first say the blessing, and then light, because they don\u2019t consider the blessing to cause them to automatically accept Shabbat.9<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Candle’s Light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Gemara specifies a specific blessing to those that are careful with the mitzvah of neirot<\/em>. It promises that they will merit children who are Talmidei Chachamim<\/em> (Torah scholars).10<\/sup> Why does this mitzvah carry such a powerful reward? The Chachamim <\/em>explain that this is based on the pasuk in Mishlei:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cKi ner mitzvah v\u2019Torah ohr\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mitzvah is a candle, and Torah is light<\/p>\nMishlei 6:32<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

When we light the ner<\/em>, the Shabbat candle, we will merit the light of Torah. After a woman does her special mitzvah of lighting candles, it is an especially auspicious time for her to daven that Hashem grant her children who will light up the world with Torah.11<\/sup> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rabbeinu Bechaya explains that a Jewish mother is the very reason that Torah has a future as it is she who develops her children\u2019s love of Torah from a young age and encourages them to learn. Therefore, after she does her unique mitzvah which provides physical light, it is a powerful moment to daven that her children merit to spread the spiritual light of Hashem\u2019s Torah throughout the world.12<\/sup> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Light Of The Menorah<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This deep connection between candles and Torah also appears in the Beit Hamikdash (Holy Temple). The Menorah was a lot more than physical light. It represented the illuminating wisdom of Torah.13 <\/sup>Lighting Shabbat candles brings the glow of the menorah and all it represents into our homes. Some have a minhag <\/em>(tradition) to specifically place the candles to the right of the table, just as the menorah in the Beit Hamikdash stood to the side of the shulchan <\/em>(table).14<\/sup> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the Kedushat Levi teaches that when a woman lights Shabbat candles, it is as beloved to Hashem as when Aharon the Kohen Gadol <\/em>(high priest) lit the menorah<\/a> in the Mishkan (tabernacle)!15<\/sup> He goes further to explain that it was in the merit of the Jewish people\u2019s devotion to the mitzvah of lighting Shabbat candles that they merited the miracles of Chanukah.16<\/sup> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tremendous importance of lighting Shabbat candles plays out in practical halachah<\/em> (Jewish law), too. If a person can only afford one candle, either for Shabbat or Chanukah, the halachah is that the Shabbat candle takes priority!17<\/sup> This is because when we light those flames, we are doing more than marking the start of Shabbat. We are creating a peaceful atmosphere where Torah can shine, and planting the seeds of Torah for the next generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soul On Fire!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shlomo Hamelech tells us in Mishlei (Proverbs), “Ner Hashem nishmat adam<\/em> – The soul of a person is the lamp of Hashem\u201d.<\/em>18<\/sup> This deep truth about the candle and flame helps us understand how our body and soul work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Striving for More<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Look at a flame. It dances upward, as if trying to break free and rise to the sky, but it stays attached to the wick. That\u2019s like our soul. It wants to connect deeply with Hashem, to rise higher and higher. But at the same time, it\u2019s attached to this earthly world for a reason: to live here and do mitzvot, bringing Hashem\u2019s light into this world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil, Wick and Flame<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A lamp, or candle, needs three things: a wick, oil (or wax) and a flame. The wick is like our body, physical and grounded. The oil is the Torah and mitzvot that fuel us, and the flame is our soul, lit up when we connect our body with Hashem\u2019s mitzvot. Without Torah and mitzvot, the wick (our life) can\u2019t stay lit. And without a physical body to perform those mitzvot, the Divine oil can\u2019t become light in this world. Every mitzvah adds oil to our flame. Every time we do Hashem\u2019s will, we burn brighter, drawing close to Hashem and making the world a more beautiful place.19<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n
