Big Religious Announcement:
I've rediscovered or invented a new method to bind the hand when wrapping tefillin, with a gematria numerical to 360. An 80 "פ", two 90 for the extra wrapped middle finger "צ", and an 100 "ק"; (80+90+90+100), wrapped as (90+90+80+100) shown below.

I should point out that the new form of wrapping includes the index finger, which I have never seen used before by any religious adherents, but which forms part of the flame symbolism I've shown on the א - ב- ז hand below.
Despite the passions this symbolism might invoke, I'm asking for Jews to stop lighting candles completely, and to sing the Sabbath in, corresponding to the already established liturgy. The world's climate is experiencing an emergency. I used to supplement the heating of a summer cottage in the winter with candles, so I know how much heat they produce. To have an air conditioner fight the heat a candle produces is a sin.
