Question
I am a yeshiva student and I am a guest for the Shabbat evening meal. Do I need to light Shabbat candles? If so, where should I light them: at their place or in the dormitory where I sleep?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
You do not need to light candles at the place where you are a guest, as there are already candles lit there. In the yeshiva, it is intended that all students are included in the lighting.
[Additionally, you should ensure there is light in the dormitory room as usual for every Shabbat].
