Question
A yeshiva where the dormitory and dining room are in the same building, and during the day the dining room is open, and students write or chat there, are they required to light Chanukah candles in the dining room?
Answer
Since it is in the same building, one can light in the room, and there is no need to have a meal there, but if one wishes, they can light in the dining room.
