    the prayer is called Kiddush (Heb. "santification"), it's the customary blessing over wine (or grape juice) on the Sabbath as well as holidays. sometimes preceded on Shabbat by a recitation of Gen. 1:31-2:3 ("And it was evening, and it was morning, the sixth day etc.").

    I've had a thought about the image of the candle (here, and near the end when the rabbi says the Sabbath prayer in Schindler's factory). It brings to mind the proverb "It is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness" and the line from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice: "How far that little candle throws his beams/So shines a good deed in a naughty world." Both of which apply to Schindler: he made some difference against one of the greatest evils in history.

    I've been looking for this for years. I first saw Schindler's List in my early years of High School, and went on to buy the collector's set later in 2005. This prayer always stuck out in my mind. Errie, haunting, and beautiful at the same time. Thank you for posting it.

      @aleksapetrovic6519 3 роки тому +25

      Candles are life. People who lit the candles were alive and together in prayer (I think). Then there is room with just candles, meaning they were deported. When the light fades away it is the moment their life goes instict. Colours fade away to symbolise death that will hunt entire movie. Colours return at the very end when survivors honour the grave of Schindler, symbolising the end of suffering.
      That's my interpretation.
