This Week's Buffalo Candle-Lighting Times
It is a longstanding custom to give tzedakah before lighting. Even a small amount, given with intention, is enough.
Kabbolas Shabbat begins at candle-lighting time, and Shabbos Shacharis is at 10:00 AM, followed by a Kiddush. There are no membership dues and no reservation is needed — come as you are.
