Welcome to FridayLight

I had an interesting experience last weekend at Lake San Antonio in Monterey County, California. I was going camping with four families, only one which I knew, but nonetheless, I brought my FridayLight starter kit with me, so I could light Shabbat candles lakeside. I had no idea if the other families lit candles or, were even Jewish. So, you can imagine how pleasantly surprised I was to find that they had brought Challah, Kosher wine and enough candles for all the women and girls to light! We then shared a lovely Shabbat dinner under the stars, with a Latino family reunion to one side of us, and a Russian family campout to the other.
