Question
I live in Modi'in Illit and my wife lights Shabbat candles 40 minutes before sunset. For the upcoming Shabbat which falls on Hanukkah, should she light at the same time and I will light the Hanukkah candles earlier, about 45 minutes before sunset, or is it preferable that she light 30 minutes before sunset and I will light before that? Thank you!!
Answer
Shalom u’vracha
On Shabbat of Hanukkah, the Hanukkah candle should be lit 30 minutes before sunset, and afterwards the woman lights the Shabbat candles.
