Question

I am married and intend to travel to stay with my parents starting Thursday before the Hanukkah candle lighting until Saturday night, when I plan to return at a late hour. My question is whether I should appoint an agent to light at my house when I am not there, and also where should I light on Saturday night?

Answer

Hello,

You can light at your parents' house.

On Saturday night, stay after the lighting, and it is good to eat there on Saturday night as well.
