Question
I am at work during the candle lighting, and I will return home in the evening. What should I do?
Answer
The best option is if you can allocate time to return home for this important mitzvah. However, if this is not possible and your wife can light the candles for you, that is excellent. If you are not married or it is not possible, appoint an agent to light the candles at your home on time. If you have no agent, light the candles with a blessing when you return home, until dawn.
