Blessed are you, o YHVH our Elohim, King of the Universe, who has sanctified us by His commandments and has commanded us to be a light to nations and has given us Yeshua the Messiah, the Light of the World.

Eldest Daughter lights the second Candle, and says the following: This candle represents Redemption. (Psalm 119:5-7) Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. I have sworn, and I will perform [it], that I will keep thy righteous judgments. I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O YHVH, according unto thy word. Messiah said (Mat 5:14) You are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
