[HANASHIR:9824] Re: Spiritual Energy/Spirtual Light

[Lawrence Kay <LarryTheKay...>]

Wednesday, we had been asked to light candles at 7, too.  I'm not clear as
to whether or not this was just NYC or national or regional.  Since we were
having a memorial/coping/solidarity service at that time, we had everyone
light a candle.  Then we stood outside, in the direction of the World Trade
Center, and sang a song or two.  Something like this could perhaps be merged
into Kabbalat Shabbat if you're meeting at that time and can deal with the
issue of using Shabbat candles for uses connected with grief.
