PREPARATIONS FOR PASSOVER

Removal of chametz

NEROT

Lighting of the candles

Psalm 27:1a

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?

Candle lighting by woman

Note: Although anyone can light the candles, this honor is usually given to a woman, as it was through the seed of a woman (see Genesis 3:15 & Galatians 4:4), that the Messiah, the Light of the world, came to us.”

Genesis 3:15

I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”

Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia: with Werkgroep Informatica, Vrije Universiteit Morphology Chapter 3
