L’Dor v’Dor, Benching Lecht, is filled with spirit, floating candles and the blue violet energy coming off the wick at the center of the shabbes candle flames, spelling out in traditional Hebrew print the words L’ Dor V’ Dor, while my hands, my daughter’s hands and my daughter’s Nana’s (Oleha v shalom) and Bubbie’s hands bless the Shabbes candles. The background of spirals and stars and light and blessing fill the ether. My daughter’s hands are now grown up, long and slender, mine are short and giving the priestly blessing, and we are wearing our matching rings, my mom with her perfect manicure and my mother in law’s aged hands, 3 generations benching lecht together.
