Candle Lighting

Women and girls above the age of three should light candles before every Shabbos and festival NO LATER than the time indicated on the calendar for that specific date. (If there is no woman in the house, the head of the household should light).

It is customary to give charity before lighting the candles. Recite the appropriate blessings, and then make your own personal prayer.

Blessing

ברוך אתה א-דני א-להינו מלך העולם, אשר קדשנו במצותיו, וצונו להדליק נר של שבת קדש

Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and has commanded us to light the candle of the Holy Shabbos.

Благословение
