Shabbat candles usher peace, tranquility, and
the holiness of Shabbat into the Jewish home.
This beautiful mitzva is a Jewish tradition that
has been passed down from mother to daughter
since the times of our Matriarch Sarah. The
Shabbat candles symbolize the spiritual light
that Shabbat infuses into our homes; they reveal
the G-dly energy and light that enlivens our
existence.
