Question
On Shabbat, I am staying with my wife's parents in Haifa and will remain there until Sunday, so on Saturday night I light candles in Haifa. On Sunday, we travel to my parents in Bnei Brak for a Hanukkah party in the evening, and after the party, we return to our home in Jerusalem. Where should I light the Hanukkah candles on Sunday evening? According to Ashkenazi custom.
Answer
Hello
On Sunday, you should light the candles in your home in Jerusalem. [Since you have already left the hospitality in Haifa, and in Bnei Brak you are only visiting for a few hours].
You can do this in two ways. A. Send an emissary to light the candles in your home on time. B. Light them yourself when you return home, provided that family members are with you and see the lighting.
