Don't Know When I'll Return Home for Hanukkah

Question

Hello Rabbi,

I am currently in yeshiva and am supposed to return home for Shabbat. I don't know if I will return this evening (Thursday) or tomorrow morning. Where should I light the candles today?

Answer

Hello and Happy Hanukkah,

Since you are permanently residing in the yeshiva and are currently there, you can light the candles there, even if you return home this evening.
