When there is no woman present can a Jewish male light Shabat candles?
Love is the battery of life....
Hi Yaron,
Hi, Yaron.
If there's no woman in the house, the man can and --according to Jewish law -- MUST. In other words, at least 2 Shabbat candles must be lit per household, so if there's no woman around to do it, a man should light the candles.
Certainly. The rule is that candles must be lit in every Jewish home before the onset of the Sabbath. You can find the exact time in your local Jewish calendar.
Thank you all very helpful
