Question
A widow who lights Hanukkah candles herself mistakenly lit Shabbat candles. What should she do?
Answer
A woman who lights Shabbat candles herself cannot light Hanukkah candles again. [Since she lit Shabbat candles – she has accepted Shabbat with her lighting and is prohibited from doing work]. She should appoint an agent to light for her, and the agent will recite the blessing 'to light the Hanukkah candle' and she will recite 'who performed miracles'.
