Question
I live in Jerusalem and usually accept Shabbat 40 minutes before sunset. When is the appropriate time to light Hanukkah candles on Friday afternoon?
Answer
Shalom and Happy Hanukkah
The appropriate time is within 30 minutes before sunset. If one lights from Plag HaMincha (approximately an hour and a quarter before sunset), they have fulfilled their obligation.
