Question
I live in Kiryat Sefer, and my parents live in Jerusalem. On Shabbat, I will be at my parents' home. What should I do regarding the lighting of Hanukkah candles?
Answer
On Friday evening, light the Hanukkah candles at your parents' home — and for Sephardim, participate with your father with a coin. On Saturday night, since by the time you return to your home in Kiryat Sefer, the optimal time for lighting may have passed, appoint an agent to light at your home on time. If you cannot appoint an agent, light at your parents' home immediately after Shabbat ends, but remain at your parents' home after Shabbat ends and eat there a Melaveh Malka, and this will be considered your home and place of eating also on Saturday night.
