“ Upon the man that asks to reveal the daily sacredness, lies the task of abandoning the existent alienation in the blunt commodification of life and their being trapped in the burden of labor..” Rabbi Abraham Yehoshua Heshel.
The Shabbat is a limited valuable time in which we cease from working, rest and fill up with physical and spiritual strength. That allows us to continue the rest of the doing and self-fulfillment in the week that starts upon Shabbat’s end. And so it goes again in an endless cycle.
Shabbat’s characteristics are dictated by a series of religious and social rules that enables renewal, fulfillment, and spiritual expression.

The beginning of the holy day and the entrance of Shabbat the queen into the palace is marked by lighting the candles in the candlesticks. These sand-made candlesticks remind us the Shabbat time is limited. Just like Shabbat the queen leaves the palace at the end of Saturday, so do the candlesticks biodegrade and perish back to the earth from which they came. This is how you may treat the product, suitable for a limited time use and with the end of its term, it degrades and gets recycled.
It was said upon humankind “For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return”. Humanity’s life is also limited, and they, like the Shabbat and the candlesticks, return to their origin.
