How do you light Shabbat candles?

Candle lighting processes

* It is a good custom to donate to charity before lighting the candles.

* The matzah of lighting Shabbat Kodesh candles was given to a woman because she was a housewife and responsible for his character.

* First the daughter lights up and then the mother.

* Even a lone man must light Shabbat and holiday candles.

* It is advisable to place the candles on the table on which the Sabbath meal is eaten.

* When a holiday falls on a Saturday evening - do not display a match, etc. In order to light candles, they should only be lit by transferring from a fire that is already burning, because no new fire can be created during the holiday. If there is no fire already burning - do not light the candles.

* When Shabbat falls on the eve of a holiday - the holiday candles are lit only after Shabbat, and only with a burning fire before Shabbat.

* Light the candles, cover the eyes with the palms and bless the blessing of lighting the candles
