if I do say so myself:
While Shabbat starts at sunset, candles are traditionally lit 18 minutes before that as fires should not be started after sunset. Had I been better organized, I think this is about the time I would have been lighting candles.

How beautiful, what a calming and restful beauty to the sky.
ReplyDeleteWell, now that you're a Bat Mitzvah, shouldn't the candles just light themselves? It's the least they could do. Jeez.
