FridayLight is part of an ongoing Shabbat candle lighting
campaign initiated in September, 1974 by the Lubavitcher
Rebbe. In his words: "With
the world so shrouded in darkness and confusion, it is
imperative that (women) illuminate it with the holy lights
of the Shabbat candles. We recognize and acknowledge the
troubling reality of a strife-torn world, but we face it
with a steady faith in the power of good to triumph. In
the words of our tradition, 'A little light dispels much
darkness.'" |
