Question
Erev Shabbat Hanukkah and I have no candles for the children except for the simplest colored ones that burn for exactly half an hour?
Answer
If there is no other option, one can rely on those who are lenient that, after the fact, the obligation is fulfilled if the candles burned for half an hour from Plag HaMincha.
