This short poem<\/a>,\u00a0written by two women –\u00a0a Jewish rabbi and Muslim sheikha –\u00a0calls on readers to light a candle in their homes and houses of worship on Friday, the day that is sacred to both Jews and Muslims, so as to spread the light of peace throughout the world.

Let Us Light Candles for Peace<\/h2>\n

Two mothers, one plea:
\nNow, more than ever, during these days of so much crying,
\non the day that is sacred to both our religions,
\nFriday, Sabbath Eve
\nLet us light a candle in every home \u2013 for peace:
\nA candle to illuminate our future, face to face,
\nA candle across borders, beyond fear.
\nFrom our family homes and houses of worship
\nLet us light each other up,
\nLet these candles be a lighthouse to our spirit
\nUntil we all arrive at the sanctuary of peace.<\/p>\n
