Blessings & Instructions for Shabbat Candles (By Chabad.org Staff) Part 3 of 4
The Basics
Prepare the candles (or oil and wicks) and matches, and a fire-proof surface upon which to place the match after lighting the candles, such as a metal or ceramic plate. The candles should be set in close proximity to where you will eat the Shabbat meal. The candles should be sufficiently large (or the oil bountiful enough) so that the flame will burn for the duration of the meal. Many have the custom, when applicable, that the man of the household sets up and prepares the candles for lighting.
Until marriage, women and girls light one candle. Post-marriage, women light (at least) two candles. Some add an additional candle for each child; e.g., a woman with three children lights five candles.
If no woman (over the age of bat mitzvah) is present in the home, a man should light the candles.
Light the candles eighteen minutes before sunset—and under no circumstances later than sunset! The times fluctuate based on date and location. (On holidays [other than Yom Kippur] that do not coincide with Shabbat, one may light the candles after sunset, using an existing flame.)

Ask the Rabbi

Holy City of Many Names

I have a school project and I need to write about the four names for Jerusalem. Can you tell me what they are?

The Aish Rabbi Replies:

Not that I want to be doing your homework, but here’s a start:

In Genesis 14:18, when the patriarch Abraham defeated the four kings, he went to Jerusalem, which was then called "Salem." This word means "complete," and is also related to "Shalom" meaning "peace." So it is the City of Peace.

In Genesis 22:14, when Abraham returned to Jerusalem to place his son Isaac on the altar, he renamed the place "Hashem Yireh," which translates as "The Almighty will see."

If you put the two together – Yireh and Shalom – you get Yerushalayim/Jerusalem: "He will see peace,"

After King David purchased Jerusalem from the Jebusites, he renamed it (appropriately) the City of David.

There are many more names, for instance Zion, and of course, the Holy City

Mishpocha,

Is there really a right way or wrong way to honor God? I think the intent is important when you are trying to honor Him. He doesn’t care about the man-made laws. He cares about how you honor and serve Him. If you are unsure if you are doing something right, why don’t you ask yourself if you are doing it for the right reason.

Todah Rabah, Abba!!!

Vickie

Together we worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel. We love Israel, The Land and its People. We support Israel’s Messianic Community financially and with prayer. We encourage people of all denominations to worship with us on Shabbat and continue with Sunday worship in their home churches, if they desire.
