Her name was Ohr which means light. She was 22 years old and never missed lighting Shabbos candles.
Last week, in the Gaza War, she gave up her life defending Israel.
We are giving out 1,000,000 Shabbos candles to Jews throughout Israel to honor her memory and bring more light into the world in this time of darkness
According to the Lubavitcher Rebbe: Darkness, no matter how ominous and intimidating, is merely the absence of light. Light need not combat and overpower darkness in order to displace it — where light is, darkness is not. A thimbleful of light will therefore banish a roomful of darkness.
This evening, before sundown, please light Shabbos candles in your own home and encourage others you know to do this also. Click here for candle lighting time in your area.
Let’s band together, Jews from all walks of life, and show the world the power of light.
