Question
How should a woman living alone conduct herself regarding the lighting of Hanukkah candles?
Answer
She should light and recite the blessing.
It is important to understand that a woman is obligated in lighting and blessing just like a man. However, if she has a husband, he lights and she fulfills her obligation through him. If she is alone, she fulfills her obligation by herself.
