Likras continues to shine as a beacon of hope for unaffiliated Jewish families across Israel. For 24 years, Likras has brought the light of Shabbos into unaffiliated Jewish homes across Israel, igniting the pintele yid of thousands! Every erev Shabbos and Yom Tov, 700+ volunteers distribute 50,000 candle packets in public spaces, helping these lost yidden discover the warmth and beauty of Shabbos. 

Now, this Chanukah, the Light Must Shine Brighter Than Ever. 

Since last Simchas Torah, r”l, the demand for Shabbos candles has skyrocketed, leaving countless families in darkness. Likras has responded by launching 42 new distribution tables across Israel. The packets containing candles and the z’man for hadlakas neiros are given out to over 50,000 families,  — but even this is not enough to meet the growing demand! 

One Jug of Oil Burned for 8 Days—2 Candles Burn Forever! 

• Doron started keeping mitzvos. 

• Anat quit smoking on Shabbos. 

• Meital broke up with her Arab fiancé. 

Rabbi Yossef Lok, Executive Director of Likras, stated the halachic precedence of Shabbos candles: 
“The Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim 678:1) teaches us that if one cannot afford both Shabbos and Chanukah candles, Shabbos candles come first. At Likras, we are privileged to make the light of Shabbos accessible to thousands of families who are searching for connection.” 

36 Hours to Spark Thousands of Families! 

Starting Wednesday evening through Motzai Shabbos of Chanukah, Likras is running a 36-hour campaign to ensure 50,000 families light Shabbos candles every week!  

Be the reason they light. For $72, you can sponsor a family’s Shabbos candles for an entire year.
