The lights of the candles

Last week I attended a shiur where the rabbi spoke about the fact that if one has only enough money to kindle the Shabbat lights or the Chanukah lights, the Shabbat lights take precedence as they bring shalom bayit - marital harmony - to the home. He explained that at the beginning of the Sabbath, the wicks of the candles are separate, but, at the end of the Sabbath, the wicks are intertwined.
May we merit shalom bayit in our households and the parnassah not to have to make a choice between the Shabbat candles and the Chanukah lights.

Strengthening ourselves

YeranenYaakov has a post titled Rav Shteinman: There is a Decree in Shamayim to Destroy the Jews - We Must Strengthen Ourselves to Cancel It.

TomerDevorah writes "We've Lost Our Kedusha."

Isn't it time to wake up?
