The middle candle is called the SHAMUS. Since it is prohibited to utilize the light from candles that fulfill the commandment, it is necessary to have an auxiliary light source to prevent accidental use of the commandment lights. The middle candle is also used to light the other candles or to relight candles that were blown out. This non commandment candle is placed above or to the side of the commandment candles to identify its function.
