Neshek Campaign Continues in the Merit of Israel

Continuing the Mivtzoim campaign to inspire women worldwide to light Shabbos candles in solidarity with Israel, hundreds of girls from Bais Rivkah school in Crown Heights headed out to New York City with Mivtza Neshek to spread Shabbos light on Friday.

The initiative, started by the Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein family, in collaboration with Chabad.org, is designed to foster unity and spread light in a world currently shrouded in darkness.

Nicole Schottenstein, a mother of four young girls and one of the driving forces behind this campaign, expressed, “Right now, everyone feels a little alone and helpless, and this is a way to come together and bring light to the dark world. They say that lighting Shabbat candles can bring miracles, and that is what we need right now.”

Also recently launched by Bais Shmuel Chabad in Crown Heights is a project to give out 100,000 Shabbat candle kits to encourage the lighting of Shabbos candles on Friday.

For those uncertain about what to contemplate or pray for during candle-lighting, Schottenstein reassures, “There’s no wrong thing to say and ask; just pray.”
