Covering the Menorah After Lighting
Question
He lights outside in a place where there is a common wind, and his intention is to immediately place the cover. Is this preferable, since there is a common wind at the time of lighting?
Answer
This is permissible initially, but some are stringent to stand very close when lighting, so the wind cannot extinguish it.
