Questions about Hanukkah
Question
2 questions regarding Hanukkah, I would appreciate a source.
I went on a trip to the end of the world and I am completely alone, without any people. Should I light the Hanukkah menorah with a blessing?
Another question: Is it permissible to light the Hanukkah menorah with oil that has already been used to fry doughnuts or chips?
Answer
Shalom Rav
A. Light with a blessing.
B. It is permissible. There is no prohibition against using oil that has already been used for work.
