Question
While lighting the Chanukah candles, one of the lights went out. Does the rule of "if it went out, he is not required to relight it" apply in this case?
Answer
Before he has finished lighting all of the candles, in order to fulfill the law of mehadrin he must go back and relight that which went out, and it is proper to go back and relight it at any time because of pirsumei nisa (publicizing the miracle).
