Amount of Oil in Hanukkah Candles
Question
How much oil should be placed in the Hanukkah candles?
Answer
Hello and Happy Hanukkah
The lighting duration should be half an hour after nightfall. Therefore, you should put enough oil in the candles to burn during this time.
Even those who light at sunset should ensure the candles burn until half an hour after nightfall.
