Sarah was the first woman to light the Shabbat Candles. Her candles burned from when she light them friday afternoon, untill the following friday afternoon. It was a great miracle. All week long, they made everything in her home shine-everything they ate, everything they owned, and everything they did. She passed that power on to her great-granddaughters for all generations. From these Shabbat Candles, we get the power to overcome any problems we may face in the coming week.
When one Jewish girl lights a single candle just before sunset on friday, says a blessing and a heartfelt prayer, she is not alone. She is lighting together with all the Jewish mothers and daughters for hundreds of generations. Now that is a awesome amount of light. The peace, joy and happiness that is brought about from lighting the Shabbat candles, is totally worth it. Try it and see for yourself.
