article mentions the Hanukkah candles, it applies equally to the Sabbath candles.

The power of the candle
The Ari explains that when we light the Hanukkah candles, we draw spiritual light into our material
world which can help us to live a better life and to nourish us with this power to help overcome
obstacles of routine. The Hannukiya is lit not to commemorate the historical miracles and events, but
rather to help us make a spiritual connection to the light that is revealed...

Kabbalah teaches us to use a candle to bridge the gap between the spiritual and material world.
When we want to connect to a spiritual force that we cannot perceive with our five senses, lighting
a candle helps us to do this. The candles of Shabbat and Holidays connect us to the spiritual light
of that moment. A Yahrzeit (Memorial) candle connects us to the soul of the deceased which no
longer is manifested in the material world. A candle is used also during meditation as a connection
to spiritual frequencies that we may not be able to connect to otherwise.

Brothers and sisters, this understanding of the ritual use of the candle is identical to that embraced by
practitioners of witchcraft and Satanism. The candle is used to invoke spirits, to create a bridge
between the spiritual and material world. Understand that the rabbis who set forth the rites to be
observed on the Jewish Sabbath had rejected Yahshua as the Messiah and as the Son of God. They
manifested an anti-Christ spirit. They called darkness light, and called the light darkness. That which
they esteemed as “light” was in fact the gross darkness of Lucifer. As the Jews perform the Sabbath
rituals weekly they are inviting the wisdom of Lucifer under the guise of the feminine Queen of
Heaven into their homes.

One tradition of the rabbis is to leave the doors of the home open, or to turn and face the door, as one
is reciting the Sabbath prayer and inviting the Sabbath Queen to enter the home. Brothers and sisters,
let it be recognized that this is a summoning. It matters not whether the summoning employs some
phrase recognized as ritual magic, or whether it is quoting a passage from the Scriptures. Witchcraft
is being performed.

In closing this chapter I mention with some regret that William Schnoebelen, after having been
converted to Christianity and repenting of his former associations as a Druid priest, a Wiccan
Warlock, a Freemason, a Satanist, and a Mormon elder, fell into the subtle trap of the Hebrew Roots
movement back in the late 1980s. He began wearing the kippah in 2001 and now is recognized as a
rabbi under the authority of Ed Nydle of B’nai Avraham, a Two-House Hebrew Roots congregation.
Following is a statement on the website of B’nai Avraham.

Our community seeks to engage in open interactive dialogue and stay on the cutting edge of
traditional teachings of the sages of ancient Yisrael and Yahshua HaMashiach. We incorporate the
TaNaK, Brit Chadashah, Talmud, Midrash, Zohar, and Kabbalah in all our discussions. We
encourage questions and free thinking in our studies.

The TaNaK is the Old Testament of the Bible. The Brit Chadashah is the New Testament. If the
statement had stopped there, there would be far less reason for concern. However, they add to their
sources of inspiration the Talmud and Midrash of the apostate rabbis, and the Zohar which is the
