The Ideal Time to Light the Menorah

The Ideal Time to Light the Menorah
Day: Monday
Date: December 15, 2014
Parshat: Miketz
Yalkut Yosef: 672


The ideal time to light the menorah is at tzet hakochavim. The candles need to be big enough or have enough fuel to stay lit for the next half hour. If one did not light at that time he may still light all the way until amud hashahar. Even if one lit less than a half hour before amud hashahar he still says a beracha on the lighting, even though the candles will have less than a half hour before amud hashahar.


The DSH is brought to you in memory of Rabbi Mordechai ben Daniel. Please visit us online at sephardichalacha.orgr
