Lighting Candles for a Traveler Leaving Home
Question
I live in Bnei Brak and want to eat tomorrow in Jerusalem a little after sunset (Hanukkah party). Is it permissible for me to leave before sunset (72 minutes) from Bnei Brak and light candles with a blessing at the place where I will eat, and then light again in Bnei Brak at night without a blessing?
Answer
A traveler leaving his home for a few hours to another place cannot light there. The solution is either to send a messenger to light at home on time or to light when you return home in the presence of family members.
