Question

This coming Sunday I am traveling to Prague. I am staying in a hotel, and I am not sure they will allow lighting candles there. What should I do and how should I light?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha 

If possible, you should appoint a messenger to light in your home.

If it is possible to light at the entrance to the hotel, light there without a blessing. 

If that is also not possible, light electric lights without a blessing.
