Question
How can a girl staying as a guest in another family's home during Hanukkah fulfill the obligation of lighting candles?
Answer
Shalom Rav and Happy Hanukkah
Every girl above the age of mitzvot is obligated to light Hanukkah candles. However, when she is at her parents' home, she fulfills the obligation through her father's lighting. But if she is staying as a guest in another home, she should give a coin to the head of the household to purchase a share in the Hanukkah candles, thereby becoming a partner in the lighting done by the head of the household.
