Candle lighting
Nayrot-Candle Lighting
It is said, there is nothing new under the sun, yet nothing remains the same. The sun rises and the sun sets, yet each day and each season is fresh and new. The earth displays an ever-changing countenance. We rejoice in the warm light and rich blessings of this season. The celebration of Passover represents the perennial rebirth and survival of the Jewish people and the world of nature.
We light the candles, and then we say together:
Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech haolam, asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu l'hadlik ner shel (Shabbat v'shel) Yom Tov.
Blessed are You, our God, spirit of the universe, who sanctifies us with mitzvot and calls upon us to kindle the lights of (Shabbat and) the Festival day.
The light of these candles symbolize a renewal of life and a reaffirmation of peace and freedom.
