IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM HORAV SHMUEL KAMENETSKY SHLITA:


HoRav Kamenetsky shlita gave the following suggestion for women in America:

The Rosh Yeshiva suggests that due to the matzav in Eretz Yisrael, each woman should light Shabbos candles five minutes before the regular zman of hadlakas neros, for three weeks.

Through this, the Rosh Yeshiva said, we will bring more kedusha to the world. The Rosh Yeshiva also suggests doing what we can to be prepared for Shabbos a little earlier, so that our lighting candles earlier will be without added pressure in the house.
