Educating Girls in Lighting Hanukkah Candles

Question

I am uncertain if there is a mitzvah of educating young girls, aged five and seven, in lighting Hanukkah candles?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

There is no education in this because even when they grow up, they fulfill the mitzvah through the lighting of the father or husband.
