The Way Lamplighting Works
A Lamplighter reaches out from his G-dly inner essence with love for another and shares a light that is not his
own...because it is actually the G-dly source that is in everything!
When a person has become “lit,” now he can become a lamplighter. These lights continue to transform the world as
they light up the darkness of galus.
Whether Lamplighting is taking place between two Jews--whether between two friends, between an educator and
a student or between a parent and a child, the process is one of sharing and guiding, as with a Mashpiah.
