Question

When I light Shabbat candles, I light them and then say the berakhah. Do I have to cover my eyes when I say the berakhah?

Answer

Answered by Chaim Yisrael Abadi

You do not have to cover your eyes. If you are a Sephardi you say the Berakhah first. Ashkenazim say the Berakhah after they light CYA
