celebration, the origin of symbols such as the Star of David, and items such as the kippah, tallit and
tefillin, these elements and rites which are extra-Biblical are all traceable back to pagan idolatry and
the worship of false deities. They are Luciferian. Men and women who are allured into the false
promise of a more authentic practice of Christianity as held forth by the Hebrew Roots movement are
in fact falling into apostasy and embracing works of the devil. The Jewish Sabbath rituals are no
different.

Young Women Performing Sabbath Candle Ritual

The Jewish Sabbath rituals are set forth in the Talmud and Midrashic texts of the rabbis. Like so
much of what appears in these rabbinic writings, they lead the individual away from truth, turning the
divine words of Scripture into an evil primer of dark Satanic works. The rabbinic explanations, like
those presented to the men in the lower degrees of Freemasonry, are always disingenuous. They lead
the participant to engage in profane actions while deceiving them with false explanations of the nature
of the rites and symbols they are performing.

We can begin to see the true nature of the Sabbath rituals as we observe the explanations set forth by
Kabbalistic and Talmudic Jews today. On the Chabad website, the following explanation is given for
the Sabbath candle ritual.

Preparations For Lighting the Candles

Why?

Our Sages give several reasons for the lighting of Shabbat and holiday candles. The two primary
reasons are:

1) A setting that encourages stumbling in the darkness is not conducive for the calm and peace that
befits the holy Day of Rest.

2) The light of the candles adds to the peaceful ambiance. They demonstrate respect for the holy day,
and sustain the atmosphere of oneg (pleasure) that is supposed to define Shabbat...

Who?

The mitzvah to light Shabbat and holiday candles applies to men and women equally. Yet our Sages
instituted that the woman of the home should light the candles for the entire household. If she is not
home that weekend or if a man lives alone, the man should kindle the candles. If there is an
unmarried daughter at home, then the father should light two candles, and the daughter should light
her customary one. If there's a married woman in the home, she can light the candles; the man need
not do so.
