Shabbas 26 | B'Yam Darkecha
from The Rabbi Dov Ber Cohen Podcast · host Rabbi Dov Ber Cohen
In this shiur, Rav Dov Ber Cohen explores the depth of Shabbat candle lighting as one of the most spiritually charged moments of the week. Drawing from the Arizal, the Zohar, and the inner dimensions of Kabbalah, Rabbi Dov Ber reveals that the woman who lights is not simply performing a ritual, but actively drawing the Shechina, shalom, and kedusha into the home. The shiur traces why fire and light hold a singular place in Torah thought: unlike any other physical substance, fire can be shared without diminishment, expands beyond its source, and never grows old. These qualities make it the closest analogy in creation to Hashem's own infinite light. Rav Dov Ber also teaches that the neshama itself is called a ner, and that lighting candles with kavana is an act of illuminating one's inner divine light, of choosing emunah over anxiety, and of stepping fully into presence at the close of the week.
