Question
What is permitted to eat before lighting Hanukkah candles?
Answer
Hello and Happy Hanukkah!
From half an hour before the time of lighting the candles, it is forbidden to eat until the candles are lit. The prohibition applies only to bread or grain products, but fruits, vegetables, snacks, and drinks are permitted. Also, the prohibition on grain products is only for an amount greater than a k'beitza (approximately 50 cc), but less than this amount is permitted.
