Question

I am a single man working in Tel Aviv and living in Rehovot. Today I finish work at six o'clock. What should I do about the candle lighting?

Answer

Appoint a messenger to light the candles on your behalf at your home. If this is not possible, light the candles when you return home, until dawn, and it is advisable to invite a neighbor to be with you during the lighting.
