Question
When is 'Hanerot Halalu' recited?
Answer
After lighting the first candle and removing the hand from the flame, one begins to recite the prayer 'Hanerot Halalu'. However, some say that 'Hanerot Halalu' should not be recited until all the candles are lit, to avoid an interruption between the blessing and the lighting of all the candles.
