Nerot - Candlelighting

The celebration of Passover represents the perennial rebirth and survival of the Jewish people and the world of nature. The light of these candles symbolizes a renewal of life, a reaffirmation of freedom.

Light candles.

Let us sing the Song of Light: Ba-Rookh Ha-or Ba-Olam

Ba-rookh ha-or ba-o-lam. 

Ba-rookh ha-or ba-a-dam. 

Ba-rookh ha-or ba-pe-sakh. 

Ba-rookh ha-toov ba-o-lam. 

Ba-rookh ha-toov ba-a-dam. 

Ba-rookh ha-toov ba-pe-sakh. 

Precious is the light of the world.

Precious is the light of humankind.

Precious is the light of Passover.

Precious is the goodness of the world.

Precious is the goodness of humankind.

Precious is the goodness of Passover.
