Every Friday night before sunset, the Shabbat candles have welcomed the holiness of Shabbat into the Jewish home for thousands of years.  The primary function of lighting the Shabbat candles is to bring peace and tranquility into the home and enter into the spiritual sense of the Shabbat.  Behind covered eyes, Jewish women throughout history have whispered private prayers to GOD in front of these Shabbat candles. Just Art artists feature a unique work of art based on this Jewish Symbolism, the Shabbat Candles.   The ten Texas artists  have created this art with a goal to bring understanding between people of all cultures and religions through the arts.   Just Art painting involves the creation of an image based upon the groupings of 12X12 inch canvases of the individual artist’s choice of imagery of the Shabbat candles (Shabbat is Hebrew for Saturday, the day of rest.  It starts Friday eve at sundown and ends at sundown Saturday eve), a major Jewish theme.
