Rosh Hashanah begins tomorrow (Wednesday) evening September 20 at sundown. For a complete list of all the laws, customs and background information on the High Holidays including guides, stories and even recipes please visit www.JewishNewYear.org Jewish Women and girls should light candles on the eve of September 20 and 21 in honor of the holiday. Jewish men that are not married have the responsibility to light the holiday candles as well. On September 20: Ideally the candles should be lit — just as on every Friday afternoon — eighteen minutes before sunset. However, the candles can be lit anytime before the holiday meal. If the candles are lit after sunset, they should be lit from a pre-existing flame. On September 21: The candles should be lit, from a pre-existing flame, after nightfall. Additionally, all preparations for the candle lighting, such as arranging the candlesticks and candles, may not start before nightfall. Blessings for candle lighting for the holiday of Rosh Hashanah Bo-ruch A-toh Ado-noi E-lo-hei-nu Me-lech Ho-olom A-sher Ki-de-sha-nu Be-mitz-vo-sov Ve-tzi-vo-nu Le-had-lik Ner Shel Yom Ha-zi-karon.
