When joining a specific denomination in Judaism it is inevitable that you will almost certainly adapt a great a fair amount of their hanhogos,regardless of what people claim the lubavitcher rebbe said about keeping your own mesorah.This is true to an even greater extent if you studies in their yeshivos from a relatively young age.with regards the chabad.org website,they answer mainly to non affiliated or observant so they will certainly teach the Judaism in the chabad version. It is more than likely that lighting candles was something specific that the Lubavitcher Rebbe felt very for,regardless of his respect for other mesorahs. As we see very clearly that lighting shabbos candles is something that non observant woman feel very connected to. Keep in mind that if a young Jewish girl is taught from a very age that she has a special mitzvah and connection to shabbos, it is very likely that she will marry a Jewish husband and keep shabbos for ever.Just something to think about.
