And remember us with a memory that brings goodness and blessing; come to us with compassion and bless us with great blessings. Build our homes until they are complete, and allow Your Presence to live among us. And may I merit to raise children and grandchildren, each one wise and understanding, loving the LORD and in awe of God, people of truth, holy children, who will cling on to the LORD and light up the world with Torah and with good actions, and with all the kinds of work that serve the Creator.

          <text>The ancient custom is for women to perform this commandment since they are the primary guardians of the home. Our custom is to light two candles, representing the two dimensions of Shabbat: shamor, &quot;guarding,&quot; observing the prohibitions of Shabbat; and zakhor, &quot;remembering,&quot; keeping its positive commandments.</text>
        </footer>
        <footer>
          <type>Commentary</type>
          <text>Normally we make a blessing over a commandment before performing it. In the case of Shabbat lights, however, the blessing is made afterward, so that the lighting precedes mental acceptance of the day and its prohibitions. The blessing is made while covering one&apos;s eyes, so that the blessing follows the act but precedes its benefit.</text>

          <type>Commentary</type>
          <text>Lighting candles is a positive rabbinic commandment, symbolizing shalom bayit, domestic peace. By creating peace in the home, we are helping to make peace in the world.</text>

        <footer>
          <type>Commentary</type>
          <text>The Shabbat candles also symbolize the light of the Divine Presence, which illuminates relationships within the home. Rabbi Akiva noted that the Hebrew words for man (ish) and woman (isha) both contain the letters of esh, &quot;fire.&quot; Each contains one extra letter – yod in the case of man, heh in the case of woman, and these two letters together spell one of the names of God. He concluded: &quot;When husband and wife are worthy, the Divine Presence dwells between them&quot; (Sota 17a).</text>
