This short video demonstrates a woman singing the blessing over the Shabbat candles while transliterated English subtitles are displayed over emotive pictures of women blessing the candles in the background. The popular North American tune used for this blessing was composed by Abraham Binder, musical director of the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue (Reform) in the 1940s. This video was produced by the Conservative Ahavas Chesed Synagogue in Mobile, Alabama.
