Candle Lighting- Maya

HADLAKAT NEROT / CANDLE LIGHTING
In the light of the Passover candles,
We celebrate the spirit of freedom,
Our candles a beacon of liberation
For our people, for all people.
It is our task to make from fire
Not an all-consuming blaze
But the light in which we see each other.
Each of us distinct, yet
Each of us bound up in one another
The lighting of the candles separates the shadow from the light, Shabbat from the rest of the week, normal days from holy days, spring from winter, justice from oppression. It marks a moment of difference. May the light of the candles guide us in our pursuit of justice and show us the future that we are building together.
Blessed are You, Source of All Life, Spirit of the Universe, who makes us holy with mitzvot and commands us to kindle the festival light.
