????? ??? ?????? bring the reason for the common ???? to add a licht per child in the family.
In times gone by, the new mother would stay in hospital for a number of days following birth, and would generally not be in a position to light ??? licht the first ??? following the birth of a child. Therefore the mother has a din of one who forgot to light, for which the ???? is that they must light an extra candle every week for the rest of her life!
My wifes maternal grandmother had this ???? but her mother is too much of a ???? so only lights the minimum. When we were married I asked our Rov what my wife should do. He said that contrary to popular belief, the ???? of candle lighting follows the mans ???? not the ladies, so my wife should do what my ???? is – to light for each child!
