Question
I work in Tel Aviv and arrive home around 19:00. At 20:00, I will have a large family Hanukkah party. Should I light the candles with many people at the start of the party, or at 19:00?
Answer
Shalom and Happy Hanukkah
It is preferable for your wife or an emissary to light on time rather than wait until 19:00. Even if there is no choice and you are delayed until 19:00, you should light as soon as you can and not wait for the party.
