Bonei Olam’s “25,000 Candles” Sung by Benny Friedman

Last February, the Vzakeini song by Bonei Olam captured hearts. Released as an introduction to Bonei Olam’s V’zakeini Campaign, the concept was simple. Every woman who joins donates $1 towards a couple’s infertility treatment as they light their Shabbos candles and prays for the couple’s success. Since its release, so many women joined that 1,000 became 5,000, and then 10,000, 18,000 and 25,000 thousand hearts strong.

Miriam Israeli, the composer and songwriter was so inspired when the V’zakeini movement grew to 25,000, that she wrote a second song in celebration. Celebrating 25,000 Jewish women across the world who join together each Friday night and storm the heavens.
