Samasut

Here I collect (for now) articles on Samasut. The samaas (שמש) plays an important role before, during and after the service. Unfortunately, in contrasts to the chazzanim, samasim didn't document their work. So far I found no old notes. All I have so far date back to end 20th, beginning 21st century.

	Candle protocol (Dutch [1], JBS, 2021). The Esnoga has no electricity, but is lit by up to about 1000 candles, as when it was put into use in 1675. The candles are lit by the care taker, who of course is not Jewish, and who does so on his own authority, without an explicit order (English, JBS 2021)
