15. How Many Candles Do I Light?
Manage episode 497274706 series 3680443
Is one candle enough, or should you light one for every member of your household?
Rav Shlomo Katz explores the halachic foundations and evolving customs behind Shabbos candle lighting. From the Mishnah in Bameh Madlikin to the teachings of Peninei Halakha, we look at how oil, wicks, and even Shalom Bayis all play a part in the flame.
We also unpack the minhagim of lighting two candles, adding for children, and what happens if a woman forgets to light entirely. A warm and practical journey into the light that welcomes the Shechinah each week.
