ON “LIGHTING A SABBATH CANDLE”

Atar Hadari said: “Psalm 92 discusses the problem of evil and why the Lord tolerates it. This is a question to which you may not have time to give due consideration in the course of the busy week. But if you stop for a whole day to reflect, you may consider this question. Perhaps that is why the rabbis chose to insert this Psalm into the liturgy, and why the Temple service opted to incorporate it on the Sabbath long before the rabbis because that is when you might have the time to question the Almighty – time to worship correctly, but also to ask.”
