Lighting the Shabbat Candles

 


Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech haolam
Asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav v'zivanu l'hadlik ner shel Shabbat


Blessed are You, Eternal our God, Sovereign of time and space. You hallow us with Your mitzvot and command us to kindle the lights of Shabbat. 


Lighting the candles is a special Friday ritual in the Sunshine class, and one that the children know to expect and look forward to.  They know that it is a serious time and they participate in reciting the words of the blessing.
