The Lighting of the Shabbat Candles by Rabbi Isaac Levy

The Jewish custom of lighting two candles for Shabbat goes back thousands of years. Each one of the candles represents part of the breast plate of the high priest that he wore called the Urim ve Tumim, which stands for "lights and perfection".

Today we continue the tradition in many Jewish and non-Jewish homes as a symbol that God is still looking to communicate with his people and is eager to establish an intimate relationship with each one of us individually.
