The Blessing Formula for Yom Kippur Candles
Question
What blessing is recited when lighting candles on the eve of Yom Kippur?
Answer
The blessing recited is: "to light the candle of Yom Kippur," and if one mistakenly said "to light the candle of the festival," they have fulfilled their obligation, as Yom Kippur is considered a festival.
