HADLAKAT HANEROT
�Blessed are You, Lord, our God, King of the universe, who sanctifies us with His commandments, and has commanded us to kindle the light of the Sabbath.�

This image is an expression of the blessing over the Shabbat candles, marking the beginning of the Sabbath. Lighting candles is one of the three commandments specific to women, as represented by the three flame-like orbs at the bottom of the painting. The metallic accents validate the holiness of these commandments. In keeping with the feminine directive of this painting, the platinum orb represents the feminine aspect of God, the Shechina that is always overhead.
The flames meander up and transform into the red of God, through the copper metallic orb that epitomizes the holy day. This orb is juxtaposed with the deep blue orb, representing the work week that is being left behind once the blessing has been said.
