Question

Hello Rabbi, I have a Hanukkah menorah and I light in slightly wide cups, and then on the eighth day, the cups do not line up straight, but slightly curved. Is this considered lighting in a circle, which is invalid?

Answer

Hello Rabbi,

There is no problem with this, only when lighting in a complete circle is there an issue as it may appear like a bonfire.
