repentance teshuvah - In Orthodox Judaism, can a person repent for a . . . Fasting is also listed as one of the possibilities as a tikkun - a rectification for kares Refer to chapter 1 of Igeres HaTeshuva, Tanya, by the Alter Rebbe The Kaf HaChayim on Orach Chayim 119:15 also mentions that tzedakkah - giving charity - can replace fasting
Lighting Shabbat candles after shekiya - Mi Yodeya Since we are dealing with a safek issur kares, you must be stringent and therefore you may not light candles even a millisecond after the regular shkia, and to do so is a safek issur kares
