Question
I am an Ashkenazi yeshiva student and I have a Hanukkah party at my uncle and aunt's house. During the candle lighting, I will be at their home. Where should I light the Hanukkah candles? And when?
Answer
One who goes to a Hanukkah party or similar event at relatives who are not his parents, and then returns to the yeshiva, should appoint an agent to light in the yeshiva at the time of lighting, and should not light himself at the host's house since it is a temporary place. And his status is not like that of a guest. However, if the party is at the parents' house, he may light there.
