Number of Candles the Guest Should Light
Question
A woman who usually lights many candles on Shabbat, when she is a guest in another home, how many candles should she light?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
Since the primary rule is to light two candles, even if she is accustomed to lighting more at home, according to the number of children or another reason, when she is in another home, she only needs to light two candles as per the primary rule.
