Question
I am flying to Israel during Hanukkah and will not be able to light candles on the plane. What should I do?
Answer
Hello and Happy Hanukkah
If you are married and your wife lights candles at home, you are exempt from lighting candles.
If you are not married, you should send a messenger to light candles at your home at the time of lighting.
In any case, you cannot fulfill the obligation on the plane, as the mitzvah of lighting is only at home.
