Testimony unfolded: May 2009
A miracle with candles for those familiar with Jewish history and culture:
Had a small version of an ancient miracle! In the days of the Maccabees, one day’s worth of oil burned 8 days to allow time to prepare more. I lit candles for Shavuot last night, knowing it was not kosher to light them for Shabbat, since there are two consecutive days that fire is not to be kindled. You can light a candle from an existing flame. I also lit two yartzheit candles in memory of my Dad, and Rabbi Holtzberg and his wife who were murdered in Mumbai last December. Yarzheit candles usually last no more than 4-6 hours. I have lit them at night and they have been out by morning every time. But this time, after 24 hours, they are still going, and I was able to light the Shabbat candles to sanctify the Shabbat from an existing flame! ברוך השם שנסיו עמנו בכל יום ובכל עת!!!! Praise GOD whose miracles are with us every day and at all times!!!!!
Shabbat Shalom!!
