Question
I am an Ashkenazi yeshiva student who studies during the day in the yeshiva and returns home only for sleeping. Where should I light the candles? It is important to note that at the time of lighting, I am in the yeshiva.
Answer
Light in the yeshiva.

Even though he intends to return to his parents' home after lighting the candles, he should still light in the yeshiva because until now he was in the yeshiva, and the obligation to light falls upon him there. [And even though he will not sleep in the yeshiva at night, still, at the time of lighting, the yeshiva is considered his home]. It seems that he does not need to light again at his parents' home.
