Candle that Brings Torah

Shabbos candles, lit by Jewish women and girls, bring visible, holy light to the whole household and add in the Torah and Mitzvos of the whole household. And it says that lighting Shabbos candles makes one have children that are Torah scholars. As the verse says, “Candle is a Mitzvah and Torah is light” – through the candle of Mitzvah comes the light of Torah.
