Shalom and welcome back! We light candles 18 minutes before sunset on Friday night. Why 18 minutes? It’s a beautiful thought! We always want to add to holiness, to add to light. The sages teach that we should add from the profane to the holy, from the weekday to Shabbat, so we add a little bit of time, an extra 18 minutes, to usher in Shabbat with that extra light and sanctity.
