Question
I am an Ashkenazi young man, and I will be visiting my grandfather during one of the days of Hanukkah. What should I do about the Hanukkah candles?
Answer
According to the basic law, it is sufficient to give a coin to your grandfather so that he can buy you a share in the oil he lights, thereby making you a partner in the lighting, and you fulfill your obligation. However, it is preferable to light by yourself.
