Shabbat Candle Blessing

In this short video, Cantor Marnie Camhi first sings and then recites the blessing over the Shabbat candles. In a slow, clear and pleasant voice, she sings the blessing using a popular North American melody composed by Abraham Binder, musical director of the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue (Reform) in the 1940s. Marnie Camhi is Cantor at the Reform Temple Beth Miriam in Elberon, New Jersey.
