Candle Lighting for Oneness - A Social Media Campaign
Posted by Tatiana Pekarovic Roe on 06/11/2021 @ 10:19 AM
Please share #CandleLightingForOneness throughout social media!
Take a look at the steps below to see how you can get involved.
A Candle Lighting Campaign for Oneness
On Friday, June 18th please participate in lighting candles.
In accordance with Jewish tradition, candles are lit 18 minutes before sunset on Friday night.
In a time of increasing darkness, invite in The Light of HaShem (a Hebrew word for God, meaning The Name).
Join the Jewish community in these traditions to honor and amplify the light within us all and invite peace into the world.
Bring Light into the World
Candles on Friday night mark the beginning of Shabbat/Sabbath - a time to disconnect from the outer world and tune into the light within us. Together, let’s light candles and meditate on the flickering flame with ONE prayer to bring more light into the world.
Sing For Peace
After lighting the candles, we’ll sing a song of peace, Shalom Aleichem – May Peace Be Upon You.
Share Sacred Blessings
Share blessings of lights and peace, and acts of goodness with your loved ones and community.
