For centuries, Jewish women have ushered in the beauty of the Day of Rest by lighting the Shabbos candles. As part of the tradition, they also dropped some money in the charity box before lighting, as an added merit. They then make the blessing:
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה’ אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו וְצִוָּנוּ לְהַדְלִיק נֵר שֶׁל שַׁבָּת קֹדֶשׁ
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with his commandments, and commanded us to kindle the light of the holy Shabbat.
