Question
Hello Rabbi! I work from the morning outside my city, and today I also have an evening shift starting at 16:30, so I left at 8 AM and will return only tomorrow afternoon. My question is about the candle lighting at my home: should my wife light with a blessing? Also, regarding myself, I am working today in another apartment with guys from 16:30, and I will sleep there and probably eat as well. Should I light there with a blessing or without? Thank you and blessings.
Answer
Peace and blessings
Your wife should light at home with a blessing.
And you should light in the apartment where you are sleeping with a blessing. Try to have at least one meal in the apartment where you are sleeping, or at least a light meal of pastries.
Happy Hanukkah!
