It is definitely true that it is easy to get caught up in the day-to-day mundanities, leaving little physical or emotional energy for much else. I too love lighting Shabbat candles, and especially now that my little girls are of an age to stand next to me as I do it. It is an incredible feeling.

As Jewish women, there are things that we can do to take a break in this crazy life and give ourselves a moment of inner peace and spirituality. I recently discovered the wonderful feeling of lighting Shabbat candles. I lit up my first Shabbat candle 2 months ago, at the age of 26. I’m Jewish but I live a very secular life. I had no idea that lighting Shabbat candle could feel this way. Indeed, as I was reciting the blessing, I felt overwhelmed with a wonderful feeling of serenity. Now each week, I look forward to lighting the candle and retrieving this feeling. I recommend to all Jewish women the website www.fridaylight.org. It provides a great background about Shabbat candle lighting and you can even read other women’s experiences. Go check it out, I’m sure you’ll like it too!
