The Ideal Time to Light the Menorah

The Ideal Time to Light the Menorah
Day: Monday
Date: November 30, 2015
Parshat: Vayeshev
Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 672


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