Friday & Festival Evening

Blessings Over Candle Lighting

Shabbat candles are kindled no later than eighteen minutes prior to sunset on Friday. Festival candles likewise are kindled no later than eighteen minutes prior to sunset. On a festival's second evening, or when its first evening falls on Saturday night, the candles are kindled only after nightfall, and from a flame already burning.
Girls ought to start kindling candles from age three, or sooner still if they are sufficiently mature. Prior to marriage, a girl ought to kindle one candle. Married women kindle two candles and add a further candle for each child. Where no women are present, a man kindles the candles.
The flame with which the Shabbat candles are kindled should not be put out after the candles have been kindled; rather it should be left to die out by itself.
Should you fail to kindle candles on Friday evening prior to sunset, they must not be kindled at all. Should you forget to recite the blessing for kindling the candles, it can be said while they still burn.
It is fitting to give alms before kindling the Shabbat candles.
Once the candle(s) are kindled, circle the lights with your hands three times, drawing them toward your face, then set your hands over your eyes and recite the fitting blessing.

On the Evening of Shabbat:

Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם,
אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו,
וְצִוָּנוּ לְהַדְלִיק נֵר שֶׁל שַׁבָּת קֹדֶשׁ:3
