But in the event that he did delay, perhaps due to circumstances beyond his control, he should still light out of doubt (safek). Tosafot (sv “ De’i la adlik madlik”) quote the R”I Porat (Rabbi Joseph Ben Moses of Troyes, known as Rabbi Joseph Porat, 12th century) who says that one must be careful to light Chanukah candles as soon as possible – i.e., at sunset – and not tarry more than necessary. Yochanan, “ the people from Tadmor (also called Palmyreans) have departed.” Rashi explains that Palmyreans were merchants who sold kindling branches to passersby they were known to linger until the people had bought the lighting materials they needed.
When does “pedestrian traffic in the marketplace” cease? Rabba b. The baraisa means that if it is night and one has not yet lit the candles, one can still do so until pedestrian traffic ceases alternatively, the baraisa means to inform us that we need to prepare enough oil so that the menorah burns for this length of time of shekiah until pedestrian traffic ceases. The Gemara asks: Does that mean that one is required to relight the candles if they became extinguished within that period of time? No, the Gemara says. According to a baraisa, “ Mitzvatah mi’shetishka hachama ad she’tichleh regel min hashuk – Its observance is from the time the sun sets (shekiah) until pedestrian traffic in the marketplace has ceased.” The Gemara ( Shabbos, “Bameh Madlikin,” 21b) establishes the timeframe for lighting Chanukah candles. Second, as we shall show, if you miss lighting Chanukah candles on one of the nights, you may still light on the subsequent nights. During all eight days of Chanukah these lights are sacred, and we are not permitted to make ordinary use of them, but to look at them in order to express thanks and praise to Your great Name for Your miracles, Your wonders and Your salvations.Īnd there we will bring a thanksgiving offering.Answer: First, be assured that according to halacha you are allowed to fly during Chanukah. These lights we kindle upon the miracles, the wonders, the salvations, and the battles which you performed for our forefathers in those days at this season through Your holy priests. Ve’ein lanu reshus le’hishtamesh ba’hem, eh’la lir’osam bilvad, ke’dei le’hodos u’lehalel leshimcha hagadol al nisecha ve’al nifle’osecha ve’al yeshu’oshecha.” Vechol sh’monas yemei Chanukah, haneiros halalu kodesh hem. “Ha’Neiros halalu anachnu madlikin al hanisim ve’al hanifla’os, ve’al hat’shu’os ve’al hamilchamos, sh’asisa la’avoseinu bayamim hahem baz’man hazeh, al yedei kohaneicha hakedoshim. It is customary to begin saying the first of these after lighting the first light to the point that it is burning on its own, while (on the second and other nights) lighting the remaining lights. “Baruch ata Ado-nai, Elo-heinu Melech ha’olam, She’hecheyanu, vekiyemanu vehigi’anu laz’man hazeh” Blessed are You, Hashem our G-d, King of the universe, Who has kept us alive, sustained us, and brought us to this season.Īfter reciting the blessings and lighting the candles, the following paragraphs should recited or sung. “Baruch ata Ado-nai, Elo-heinu Melech ha’olam, She’asah nisim la’avoseinu, bayamim ha’hem baz’man hazeh” Blessed are You, Hashem our G-d, King of the universe, Who has wrought miracles for our forefathers, in those days at this season.“Baruch ata Ado-nai, Elo-heinu Melech ha’olam, Asher kid’shanu b’mitzvosav v’tzivanu l’hadlik ner shel Chanukah” Blessed are You, Hashem our G-d, King of the universe, Who has sanctified us with His commandments, and has commanded us to Kindle the Chanukah light.There are three Brachos (blessings) which are recited prior to lighting the Chanukah candles. Each night you light the newly-added light, and proceed to the right. On the second, you prepare the right-most two lights, and light them from left to right.
On the first night, you prepare and light only the right-most light of the eight. Your Menorah or set of lights should be placed near a window visible from the street, or on a table.
#Light my menorah plus
In order to light the lights for Chanukah, you don’t even need a Menorah! Obviously it is great to have one, but if not, arrange a total of eight candles or cups of oil (with wicks) in a row, plus an additional one to serve as the “Shamash.” The Shamash is the only one used to light other lights, and should be placed higher, lower, or off to the side of the others.
