However, in early rabbinic times candle lighting -  <em>hadlakat ha'ner -</em>  became one of the three  <em>mitzvot</em>  that Jewish women were <strong>allowed</strong> to do, along with making ritualistic <em>hallah</em> (from dough which a tiny bit was set aside as sacrifice) and keeping  <em>niddah </em> (a period of time between menstruation and cleansing in the <i>mikvah</i> when women can't fuck). When you take the first hebrew letters of each commandment, it spells  <em>HaNaH</em>, who was one of our biblical mothers. Some say women were commanded to take part in these  <em>mitzvot</em>  as a form of punishment for what Eve did and if they don't, they'll die during childbirth. In lighting these candles, let's instead celebrate the women and femmes who came before us who sought knowledge and power, even if it literally killed them.</p>\n\n<p>Hannah Szenes was a young Nazi resistance fighter. The Nazis captured her and brought Hannah’s mother to her. They said that if Hannah didn’t reveal the names of the resistance movement, her mother would be killed. Hannah told her mother that she could not betray the resistance. Her mother replied that by not giving in to the oppressor, Hannah had proved her love. Hannah Szenes was captured, tortured, and put to death at the age of 20. She wrote this poem in prison in Budapest before her execution:</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blessed is the match consumed in kindling flame.</p>\n\n<p>Blessed is the flame that burns in the secret fastness of the heart.</p>\n\n<p>Blessed is the heart with the strength to stop its beating for honor’s sake.</p>\n\n<p>Blessed is the match consumed in kindling flame.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>May the light of the candles we kindle together tonight bring radiance to all who still live in darkness. May this season, marking the deliverance of our people from Pharaoh, rouse us against anyone who keeps others in servitude. In gratitude for the freedom we enjoy, may we strive to bring about our own liberation and the liberation of all people everywhere.</p>\n\n<p> Lighting these candles, we create the sacred space of the Festival of Freedom; we sanctify the coming-together of our community.</p>", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": null, "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/204070/candle-lighting.png", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/204070/conversions/candle-lighting-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Introduction", "slug": "introduction" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 306, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Candle Lighting | Passover haggadah by Danya Zaitzow", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

It's also a time to tell winter a true \"bye bye\" as we are ready to dust ourselves off and rejoin the world of the living. What a better time to examine how the past 12 months have gone and commit new promises to ourselves and the world? Passover als coincides with Aries season, a sign known for their courage, honesty and generosity. Let's keep these traits in mind as we work through this year's seder. How fitting that the seder ends in a song about a lil goat?</p>\n\n<p>Before we start, let's uphold one tradition we’ve now adopted from Sophie Busby's family. Every year, her family starts the seder by inviting someone who couldn’t be here for whatever reason. They could be far away, they could have passed away, they could be fictional characters, celebrities or unattainable crushes. Let's go around and share who we want to invite.</p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>BLESSING ON THE FLOWERS</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Passover is a holiday of renewal, of growth, of new birth and everything that spring has to offer.
