In the first 49 seconds of this brief homemade instructional video, Rabbi Eli Garfinkel demonstrates how to light the Shabbat candles and recite the blessing according to the Asheknazic tradition, along with transliterated English subtitles. Those interested in learning how to recite the Kiddush, the blessing over the wine, are invited to continue watching until the end of the video. Rabbi Garfinkel is the rabbi of the Conservative Temple Beth El of Somerset, NJ. Â
