Through FridayLight, Women Find Peace — And Share It With The World

The Kit

Los Angeles, CA — Chabad today announced the launch of FridayLight, a campaign to inspire more Jewish women and girls to experience a moment of peace and serenity by lighting Shabbat candles.

A key part of the project is FridayLight.org, a website offering information about the candle-lighting tradition, a forum for members of the FridayLight community, and free starter kits to help newcomers enjoy this unique spiritual act.

FridayLight is an innovative effort to encourage Jewish women who may not have strong religious ties to reconnect with their roots by taking time to illuminate their homes — and their lives — by lighting weekly Shabbat candles. FridayLight believes that the collective power of millions of flickering candles can spread light and peace around the globe.
