What
are "Candle Lighting Times"?
It is considered a great mitzvah and responsibility to honor the
Sabbath by lighting candles 18 minutes before sunset on Friday
evening. This unique commandment, entrusted to the Jewish woman,
is rich with meaning and purpose. In a world so full of darkness
the candles lit by Jewish women and girls bring light, joy and
holiness. A little light, our sages say, dispels much darkness.
It
is very important to know the exact candle-lighting time, because
we are not allowed, under any circumstances, to kindle these lights
after sunset.
Married
women should light at least two candles, corresponding to the
two commandments of "Remember the Sabbath" (Exodus 20,8)
and "Observe the Sabbath" (Deuteronomy 5,12) but single
women, and even young girls, light only one (in deference to their
mothers)
