How so, isn't it a definite origin for how all of the everything got here and what it means to be part of the origin. Is there a religion without an origin story implied or actuated?
did you just not read my comment? all I said is there is more to religion than an origin story eg beliefs, holy texts (like the talmud which isn't about origination), and rituals/practices. lighting the candles on shabbat isn't about where we came from
I'm not to familiar with Jewish customs but aren't those candles part of a metaphor for the dawn of creation. The seven days to create the cosmos? How is that not part of the origin story of the everything?
but it's not just about that
