“Shabbat Lights; Pure Galilee Green Olive Oil as Fuel”

Most people love our Galilee Green olive oil because of its unique delicate flavor!

However our subscriber Cynthia Liora from Pomona CA posted this picture on her Facebook Wall with the following caption.

“Shabbat lights; pure Galilee Green olive oil as fuel. Shabbat Shalom from California!“

Immediately, her friends asked how they could do the same.  Although most people today use wax candles for Shabbat lights, in ancient times many different types of oils would be used.

“…the Sages permit all [of the following] oils: Sesame oil, nut oil, radish [seed] oil, fish oil, gourd [seed] oil, tar, and naphtha. Rabbi Tarfon says: One should only light with olive oil.” Mishna, Shabbat 2:2

There are many people today who light their Shabbat lights with the best olive oil as recommended by Rabbi Tarfon because it produces the clearest flicker-free flame.

To try it yourself, you simply need to find some glass floating wick holders to place into your candle sticks and find some floating wicks.  Add a thin layer of water at the bottom of the bowl, then fill it up with Galilee Green Olive Oil,  float the wicks and light!

By the way, the same goes for Chanukah. The best way of lighting is with pure olive oil.
