Question
My husband, who is becoming more religious, is far from the city and will arrive home only at 10 or 11 PM. Should I wait for him to light the Chanukah candles, or should I light them myself? Our children are 9, 7, and 3 years old.
Answer
Hello,
I have just now seen the question, and the answer is likely coming too late...
You should light the candles on time, also on behalf of your husband, and not wait for his arrival.
