Candle lighting by Olami student Cam Landis for Olami's Share Shabbat

[Music] hello everyone my name is Kim Landis I'm a malware student at the University of Pennsylvania and right now I'm gonna give you a brief overview on the Chabad can delay I'm gonna tell you why we like them how to light them and how I personally find it meaningful so first off why let's start off with the fact that there are two candles two is a very important number but it symbolizes the two mitzvahs wears to fulfill on Shabbat we're two zakkour remember and when are also to show more observe Shabbat made more importantly the candles themselves provide fuel for a fire fire is just such a deep and lightning concept in Jewish tradition a flame illuminates just as we are supposed to do in the world by learning toys next how do we do this you might be thinking that this is a mitzvah for a woman and the truth is that anyone can lecture by the cables in fact it is something I could really do alongside my mother you should first set up your candles in a place that is both safe and preferably in the same room you have a Shabbat meal in that 18 minutes before sunset you are the light of match safely light one candle light the other extinguish the match close your eyes save the blessing open admire the flame in which everyone shabbat shalom finally i'd like to share with what this practice means to me and something to do with my mother weekly so it has a lot of deep spiritual meaning that we can connect on on a weekly basis and also as an athlete I have seen more or less as setting the arena for Shabbat an arena that we were supposed to fulfill by delighting of the day [Music]
