Special Birthday Gift

Today is a very special day.
It is the birthday of my daughter *Chana Ettel bas ybdlcht”a Dovid*

We are sitting shiva for my daughter and celebrating her birthday at the same time

Lighting shabbos candles was very special for Chana Ettel.

When she was unwell, she had actually asked that as many people as possible should *please give Tzedaka before lighting shabbos candles and to light on time. *

Together we made a campaign to ask many women and girls to do this. (Including those who don’t usually light candles)

We know that these beautiful mitzvos have accompanied her on her journey and that these are the only real and meaningful gifts that we can now give to her.

So now my dear sisters, I turn to you and ask.

Will you please send this precious gift of a mitzva to my beloved daughter?

The shabbos candles
(A poem by Nechama)

Flame meets wick
Spirit meets matter
Past meets present
Dreams become reality

The shabbos candles
Connecting Jewish women
Of all ages
Throughout the world

Connecting with our Creator
Connecting with each other
Connecting with our past
Connecting with our future

Connecting our souls
With our ancestors
Who lit the candles
With a prayer in their hearts

Connecting our essence
With the future
Of our nation
Perpetuating this holy light

Tiny dancing flames
Part physical
Part spiritual
Illuminating the universe

As together
We brighten the world
One shabbos candle
At a time

I usually light at the very last minute or into the 18 minutes, but in her zechus will do my best to light early this Erev Shabbos. May her neshama have an aliyah.
