Machshava:

Shabbat 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Shabbos 2001

Description

Lighting candles is the delight of Shabbos. Why this responsibility was given to the woman and how a woman can best fulfill her role. Man has a dual role- to work and to delight in Hashem. Through the malchus (royalty) of the Jewish woman, the toil of the male is transformed into oneg (delighting in) Shabbos which is a slice of heaven.
