Question
A person who is returning from the U.S. before the time of lighting the Chanukah candle (the eighth candle), and will arrive home only in the morning – how should he conduct himself regarding the lighting of the Chanukah candle?
Should he appoint an agent to light for him in the U.S.? In Israel?
Assuming that this is in his home in Israel and not in the home where he was staying in the U.S., should the agent, who has already lit in his own home, recite the blessings again?

Answer
Shalom u-vracha
Our teacher, HaRav HaGaon Rabbi Amram Fried shlita, ruled:
that he should send two agents to light on his behalf, one in Eretz Yisrael and one in the U.S.
