Couple Arriving Late for Hanukkah
Question
I traveled with my wife from home, and I am late for candle lighting. Only my daughter (13 years old) is at home, what should I do regarding candle lighting?
Answer
Hello and Happy Hanukkah
Since your daughter is above the age of mitzvot, call her and appoint her as your agent to light the candles on your behalf at the time of candle lighting.
