Why do Jewish women traditionally cover their eyes before reciting the blessing over the sabbath candles?
We hold our hands between us and the candles so that we do not directly view the flames while reciting the bracha (blessing). The reason for this is a bit convoluted. Normally, we say the bracha before we perform the act. However, once the bracha over the candles is recited, Shabbat has started and once Shabbat starts we cannot light candles. So, to get around this conundrum, we light the candles then block the flames from our view until after the bracha is recited thereby "recreating" the lighting after the bracha. source: Code of Jewish Law, Orach Chaim 263:5.
