Kind: captions Language: en Okay, so today we want to review the main laws of Hanukkah in order to prepare for the holiday with God's help. Okay, the laws of Hanukkah are like anything else. There are many details. I ask that there be no questions until the end of each step, because otherwise we won't finish. So I'm starting. Okay, Hanukkah is a lovely holiday. We thank the miracle for the miracles that happened. It's the miracle of Idor, right? Compilers from the Mahadirin. We'll see what that means in a moment, but everyone knows that there are Mehadrin and there are Mehadrim from Mehadrin. By the way , this is the only place where it is written that one should extol or extol from the mehadrin. In other places, this concept does not exist. So this is from Hanukkah. In any case, everyone should strive to do this mitzvah properly. We will define the details of this commandment. But anyway, I suggest that we are already here, Wednesday, we still have a long time until Hanukkah. Everyone should do some calculations. This has nothing to do with Halacha. This has to do with the way of the land that preceded the Torah. Everyone should do some calculations with what they will light on Hanukkah. Someone is going to light candles on Hanukkah. So what do they light? Because you can take some stone outside and put it there to stick in two candles. It's not relevant. There are Hanukkahs. Maybe. I do n't know. I didn't see it this year. It didn't hit here. It didn't hit well. Maybe they'll sell more. Everyone, however, should do some calculations with what they will light, how they will light, what candles they have. And as we shall see, with God's help, then everyone will strive to fulfill this mitzvah properly. Okay, I'll start. Oh, Hanukkah, there are several sections that need to be understood thoroughly in order to do things properly. Chazal decreed that it should be fixed, did not decree, fixed. That Hanukkah candles should be lit, but there are also some boundaries for this. So I'll start. First of all, the time of lighting. The time of lighting is an interesting dispute between different poskim. Do you light them at sunset or at the starry night? The difference between the two is not that great. Yes? Sunset today is 4:42 and the starry night is five. It may be a little longer and another minute or two, but that's more or less the point. The Shulchan Aruch writes and so is the Sephardic custom of lighting candles at the starry night. That means that at five a person lights candles. Among the Ashkenazim there are two customs. There is a custom of lighting candles at sunset, that is, at 4:42 3 Arv, no matter when it is, and there is a custom of lighting candles at the starry night. Oh, we'll talk about the evening prayer in a little while, but there is also a question about the evening prayer, but this is the simple halacha. That means whoever lights candles must light them at what time? It Or sunset or the stars. That's it for now. Well, what happens to a person? He doesn't light the candles on time. Why doesn't he light them on time? Because he wasn't home. He wasn't home. He traveled, he came back, I'll go over all these details. So a person can light them within half an hour of that time. That's best. After half an hour, there is a disagreement among the Rishonim about whether they even say a blessing after half an hour. Let's say a person returns on Shev in the evening, then he can light them. He can light them, but it's not clear that he can light them with a blessing. The Rambam believes that one does not light them with a blessing after a while. I said either way, but it doesn't matter, but most of the poskim disagree with the Rambam on this, and we rule that if a person returns and there is a miracle, pay attention to what I'm saying now. If a person returns home at 7 p.m. and there is a miracle, he can light the Chanukah candles and give a blessing, and so on and so forth. What is the publication of the miracle? The publication of the miracle? The publication of the miracle is that people see the miracle, see the miracle, see the candles, if a person is in a small town, I don't know where. There are no people, a lonely babe is found, so he has to turn on the lights in time for the blessing, then what will happen later? There are no people, so he won't be able to turn on the lights in time for the blessing, because there is no advertising in the blessing, but if a person is found today, thank God, most people live in places where there are still people outside at 7 o'clock, maybe even 10 o'clock. I don't know. Tel Aviv is a city without a break, so maybe later, but it depends on where you are. It also depends on where you live. You live in a very, very corner house at the edge of the settlement and the window faces north to the desert. So then you do n't have advertising. The miracle is that there are people who live on a central street, on a less central street. Neighbors who see. There are no neighbors who see. You need each and every one of them. We won't go through one now. Where do you live? But everyone will have to do some calculation. Where do I turn on? Where do I turn on? It'll be a second. I'm talking about time, but if a person was in the place where he was at the time that he didn't turn on, that means he wasn't there at the time he should have turned on. He can turn it on later if there is a miracle announcement. Well, these are simple things, so far so clear. Now a person returns late, a person returns very late. Let's say a person comes back at two in the morning, he did n't turn on the light. He didn't turn it on. So what will he do? So once again it's the same thing. He can light a candle if there is a miracle announcement. What is miracle advertising? Two in the morning, no one is there. Okay, so he needs to enlighten the parents. It's not worth mentioning because it's to honor one's parents. But if he has siblings or friends with whom he was with until two in the morning, they will come to see the lighting of the candles, then there is a miracle, he can light it with a blessing. Now there is a dispute that divides the public into two parts. Sephardim are being pushed out by their fathers because there is a dispute. By the way, this is one dispute. The only disputes are that the Shulchan Aruch ruled like Tosafot and the Ramah ruled like the Rambam. By the way, it is not illogical, as if the string usually goes like the Rambam and the Ramah like Tosafot. But here it was divided. What is divided? It was divided. The Ramah ruled like the Rambam. Where everyone lights another candle and everyone lights it. That is to say, in an Ashkenazi home, they light candles every day on the second day, on the first day they light one candle, on the second day they light two candles, on the third day they light three candles. So that is clear, but there is another point that everyone lights. What does everyone mean? There will be no six-month-old baby. But a person who can light up because he knows, even if only a little, that he has received a light-up education has his own suffocation. So that's why among Ashkenazim, everyone is cool. It's not like that with the Spaniards. Among the Sephardim, this is the ruling of the Shulchan Aruch, and there is no disagreement about it. The father is putting you in a bind. Where are you? It doesn't matter. Does a person have to be present at the lighting of candles? not. The father lights candles, the other one is hiking in the Judean Desert. Okay, now it's a problem with the floods maybe, but a but it's not a problem. You can be wherever you want. Dad is forcing you out. So it's a general disagreement that everyone, I hope everyone knows whether they belong to that or that, after they know where they belong, then they should know. It has a lot of advantages. For example, here in the yeshiva. In the yeshiva, an Ashkenazi guy who is here will light it, he needs to light it, why, because if he was at home, he would also light it, a Sephardic guy here doesn't need to light it, what exactly will he do? It will be seen, God willing, later. So what did I say about the lighting time? I said if a person lights it on time, everything is fine. If Adek doesn't light it on time, then there are several steps within half an hour. You set the sun and find the stars. It's definitely fine. Then it's definitely fine. If there's a Hans advertisement. Then if there's no Hans advertisement, then look for a Su Hans advertisement. What will happen? A person returns at 3:00 at night. He didn't light it. An Ashkenazi came home. His father didn't take him out of the service. Why, because he needs to light it? You need to light it now. You came home at 3:00 at night. Why, I don't know. It doesn't matter. So now there's no one at home. There's no one at home. You're not alone at home. So what do you do? So you can light it without a blessing or bring friends to see the advertisement. Why do you have to light it? What is it? Why do you have to bother? You ask, okay, I don't know what it depends on why did you go? If you went to do a mitzvah, that's one thing. If you went to talk about permission, if you just went, oh, you're on purpose, you don't care, and suddenly you remember. There are a lot of things in this. But in general, one needs to be very careful. It says to be careful with the Hanukkah candle, and people are careful. You know that this is the most practiced mitzvah among the people of Israel. This is one place. First place Hanukkah candle. Second place, what's not Passover, Seder night, no matter what they do there, I'm not sure it's a handful of matzah plus bread plus cans of rice, but in any case, there's a consensus among the people of Hanukkah because it 's light, because it's beautiful, because it's beautiful. I explained that the miracle announcement, two people, is the miracle announcement. Here is the miracle announcement. If we were to light it now, well, it doesn't belong because it's not Hanukkah, but if it were here, then it's the miracle announcement. The minimum miracle announcement is two people, I mean, two people besides you. It's the best thing in hindsight. Another one, so you have to wake up your sister, your brother, you light it. Wait a second, I have n't finished this, and you're already asking questions. From when can you light it? Okay, so I understood that the stars' matzah is lit at what time, or the reading of the chama is 42. Okay, there's no problem with us in the yeshiva. The lighting in the Beit Midrash is at 42, right? Or three? 43, because it's probably 440. It's 40. This and that are lit for a long time, and besides, we go later. Ashkenazim are those who follow the sunset, so they turn on the lights at sunset, sing songs, and everything is fine now. What happens to a person? He needs to go out. He doesn't arrive late. He needs to go out early. And he has, I don't know, he has a wedding, he needs to go out. When should he leave? I don't know. At three, at three-thirty, at four. He is not at home when the lights are turned on. So, if a person leaves after the evening sun, the evening sun is one hour and 12 minutes before sunset. What does this mean? Let's say if it's sunset, let's say we simplify it. If sunset is 442, fine, it doesn't matter, it's a minute here, a minute there, it's true what I'm saying, but if it's 442, then sunset is 3:30. This means that if a person leaves after 3:30, it is a branch, he will light it at 3:30. It is permissible to light Hanukkah candles at 3:30 from 3:30, of course, but on the condition that these candles are lit at 3:30 and 4:25. To add sunset, five is the star side, 5:30 is half an hour, you found the stars. This means that these candles should burn for two hours. Do you understand the calculation? It's not complicated. Do you understand? Or from the Sephardic, right? I don't hear Sephardim who went out to the stars, that's nice, but even among Ashkenazim, you ask well. Even among Ashkenazim, who customarily light the oil at sunset, they don't light it exactly half an hour after sunset, but at least three hours after sunset, so that it burns for half an hour, even after the stars have set. By the way, whoever buys these thin candles, the old-fashioned thin ones, they sell them, they burn for half an hour, no, not a minute longer, sometimes it's even 29 minutes. I already did a thesis on this. So what you can do about it is not to use them. We don't have permission to use them, but what we can do is put them in hyphens. Those who are stingy and want to buy only them will put them in the dash and then it will light up more slowly. But among us there are many bigger candles. What do you need exactly half an hour for? How much more does it cost? Here he will arrange it. Funding or not? Come on, okay . He won't be a Maman, he's right, he won't be a Maman, neither will I. Okay, let's go. Wait, wait, now everyone has to calculate when they will be there, when they won't be there, and make an effort for this thing. beautiful. One more point about time. We are still on time. One more point about time. It is forbidden to eat a regular meal before lighting candles. Half an hour before lighting candles. The regular meal is bread. A person wants an apple, eat a rough apple, but eat bread half an hour before lighting candles. Studying Torah is also forbidden during the candlelight period. It is forbidden to stop unless Rashi and his friends do not seem to have such people here. So he needs to stop and light candles on time. Because wait, and therefore if he leaves before the offering of the offering, if he leaves before the offering of the offering, now you are right. I did not say well, you say, then I will return, but I am just finishing it, and therefore a fixed meal is also forbidden. Studying is also forbidden. It is also forbidden to perform a task. It is forbidden for a person to be busy lighting candles now. What you asked here is a good question. What did we say? We said that a person is found at five in the area of five lights on time. A person is found later lights on time. If there is a miracle, a person returns at 3 a.m. lights on time. If there is a miracle, all of this is explained. We leave early, leave early, leave at 3:30, light after the offering. And there is no problem with that. Going out together at noon. why? I do n't know. He has some family gathering far away, he has to leave at one in the afternoon. He has no option. So he won't light it here. Where will it light up? Where will it light up? This is a big question that we will now explore later. Where will it light up? okay? But basically I'm telling you the principle now. The principle is that a person should direct themselves to be in the place where they sleep when the light is turned on. I mean, if you go, you leave here at one o'clock in the afternoon on Wednesday, blessed is the believer on Wednesday. We leave after the morning seder. Time. It seems to me that only I will leave here after. It doesn't matter. I won't say bad things about the guys, but let's say that there will be people here who left after the morning seder. So then you leave before the party. Right. You leave before the party. So where will I light it? What do you mean? You leave at home. Light it. Everything is fine. Everything is fine. So far, it's simple. We'll see what happens soon. A person goes to his grandmother's house to light it. His aunt also comes. And gifts. It's not related. And besides, in the end he goes home to sleep. So where will he light it? All of this follows the blessing of lighting. I only ask questions about the time of lighting and questions that are important to everyone. Two questions. And I continue. Oh, also eating at work. Half an hour before the time. Who knows that I am two. Lighting. Yes, what do you light in the morning? Only in a synagogue. In a synagogue, they light it at night. In the morning. I explained that if you leave before the party, you can't light it. So in the morning, it's before the party. Well, so far, I see that the questions are not Okay, the gabbai, what to do in the morning in a synagogue? They don't say blessings, only in the evening they say blessings, but a synagogue is a special law. They light it because of the Temple. Because in the Temple there were candles and they light them in memory of a miracle that happened in the Temple. Therefore, they light them on the south side. They light them on the south. Where is it in the south? Where is the Chanukah? There is this one. It's beautiful. So far, good. Time. We talked about the blessing of lighting. A blessing. You need to bless. What are the blessings that are blessed on the first day? Three blessings. It's written in the siddurs. Also, that we were saved on the second day. Without that we were saved, we lighted it. That we did miracles. Everything is fine. The Hasidim say that the blessing is: Blessed are you, the Lord, who brought us to the mitzvah and commanded us to light it. No, apart from that, it's the Hanukkah River. But we need to be people who light it. There's a lot in this Hasidism. We need to light the light. You need to light it. You go home on Hanukkah, even though it's a holiday of the Oral Torah. And it doesn't make any sense at all to do it between the times. Even the army doesn't recognize between the times. On Hanukkah, you need to make a special request to the Benish section so that they can say that it's only Passover. They know. Sukkot. They know. Hanukkah, they know the truth, it's a holiday of the Oral Torah, and therefore there's no point in leaving the yeshiva. Well, but I'll close the parentheses. There's a beautiful story about it, but well, it's mostly time, it doesn't matter. So, Rabbi Goldweit would say, why do we go out on Chanukah in high yeshivot? Why do we go out on Hanukkah wearing this? Because in high school you don't have freedom. Why don't you have free time in high school? Because basically you will have freedom. Why would you have freedom in the first place? Because in the garden there is freedom. So he says everyone who leaves the yeshiva should put a candle here and go home. That's what he said. And there is a lot of truth in what he said. further. good. But that was to heighten the tension of the lesson. I return to our subject. Where do you turn on the lights? Okay, the ignition point. The place of lighting is the holy place, this is the most complicated issue in Hanukkah, and many Kolbuses have been involved in this. There are many methods in this, many opinions, both among the former and among the latter. I want to try. Little me, of course, is not innovating anything here. I'm just presenting my opinions, but I want to clearly define and clarify two points. The first point is that a person needs to know where he lives and where there is a miracle advertisement. We already said that. Now if we tell a person I live in a building, let's start with the simple things. There are people living in buildings here. Now it depends on who lives in the building. After all, it is impossible to light anything higher than 20 cubits. What do you mean, can you turn it on? You can turn it on, but no one will see it, so there's no advertising of the miracle. So where do I put the hanukkah? I live over 20 feet from the road. I live 40 feet from the lower road and 20 feet from the middle road because it's terraced. So then what do we do? So there are two methods for this. There is one method that requires lighting at the entrance to the house from the outside, next to the mezuzah. So who will see this? Just the neighbors across the street. We are the Mor family, so thank God even Eitan will see this, so okay, so everything is good, what is the identity? One option is okay. There is another option. Light it in the window. Why am I allowed to light it in the window? Because my window faces Rabbi Avishai Gershoni's window. So we made a shelf agreement that I light it in the window and he will see the Chanukah from the window. But it is above a moment. Let me breathe. But it is above 20 amma. True, but I am not. It is not above 20 amma. It is in a straight line at zero amma. That is why it is also possible to light it in the window. A window is considered an opening for the matter of Chanukah lights. Okay, now there is another option. And so in Hasidism today, because there was a regulation to light inside or not to light outside because of the regulation and because of the decree. And maybe the decree did not come back and the regulation did not come back. Therefore, many of the Rebbe light it on the table. And that is what is written in the Gemara. Therefore, it is also possible to light it on the table. If there is a publication of the miracle, that is, if there are 10 people in the family, then it is also possible to light it. So I said the three opinions. The simple ones, wherever you light it, it will be fine. Wherever you light it, it will be fine if it has advertising. Now, a person who doesn't live in a building, there are people here who don't live in a building, who live in a private house or on the ground floor. These people need to calculate where it's best to light it. Let's say he has an entrance to the yard, he has a yard, but he has trees. So if he lights it at the entrance to the house, no one will see. So it's worth lighting a fire at the entrance to the yard. Let's say language is his home. Here he has a yard and here he has an entrance to the yard. If he puts it here, anyone who passes by on the road here will see it. So he'll put it there. It's possible that this person has a window on the other side where he has a lot of neighbors who will see it, so he'll turn on the light there. The rule is to advertise the miracle. So everyone will make their own account and post. Now for Ashkenazim it is much simpler. why? What did we say, Kishkenazim? Everyone lights their own hanukkah. So what's the problem? So the father will light a lamp here, that one will light a lamp in the window, that one will light a lamp in the doorway, that one will light a lamp in the yard. So it will be like that for everyone. Everything is fine. For the Spaniards it is more complex. Why is it more complex? Because they only light one censer. If you light one censer, you need to know where it is best to light it so that the miracle is more publicized. Okay, questions about the ignition location? please. A mandatory place, meaning I can do one mar here, you can, you can, but on that day you can't because lighting is a mitzvah and not a precept. That means where you lit it, you have to leave the chanukah there, so you have to think a little before. Today you do it like this. Today you do it like this. It's not so good because there is a gemara that says that due to suspicion, you have to light it in another place, and therefore if it's if you have two places, then light it without a blessing in the second place. It's also permissible. A Sephardi who wants to light it in a chanukah without a blessing can. It's not the blessing that's problematic. The blessing was not installed. A blessing was installed for lighting Chanukah candles for a son whose father lights them for him. You understood well. Yes, all Chanukahs are satisfied. What does it mean that each person lights one, the father lights one here and the hill lights the other one. I don't think that everyone will finish in the best place. It's also possible. But if there is, you're right, but if I have two places where the miracle is announced, if there are two, if there are two two places where the miracle is announced, then it can be divided. And if there's a large window at the entrance to the house that everyone can see, everyone will light it a little bit further away, so that not everyone will have one torch, but everyone can light it there, there's no problem. Yes, Rabbi Diak on the agreement with Rabbi Vashi. So one question, those who do not have an agreement, can they maintain a circumcision quota. Yes, second question, who has, say, a house across from a main road that everyone who passes by can see all the candles, but it's over 20 cubits, over 20 cubits, it doesn't help because it's a rule of the Sages. There are no methods that say that if it's really far away, there are people who see, so no, no, it's only with the road. Let's say you come here by bus on Thursday. You stop by the Pais Center. That's right. From the level of this road, I measured it. It's not 20 cubits from my house, so I light it in two places. I also light it there toward that road because whoever is on that road will see that. And I also light it in the window in that one. But well, everyone needs to use their heads in this. There is a blessing in this. Where is the six. The announcement of the miracle? Yes, the announcement of the miracle here. This is the point. This is the point of the story. Okay, a lot of questions. This is not good. A lot of questions. This is the last question on this matter. If you can't, you can't ask. No, you can't. This is a good question. Interesting, but it's clearly written in the poskim that a son cannot tell his father, "Don't take me out," he takes you out because you trust him. Our table, why who pays for your cell phone, what about sins? This is how it is, so you rely on our table and who pays here for a good yeshiva, it doesn't matter. Come on, come on. What do you light ? What do you light? The best is olive oil. This is the best . Olive oil is the best. Why is it the best? It's simply because the miracle was in olive oil. By the way, we learned from the requests of those who were here that if you put the olive oil or these wicks, you bought ready-made wicks, you put them under the bed, then you shouldn't light them. Because there is an evil spirit and in the mitzvah, they will take it seriously, so don't put them under the bed, that's fine. Go ahead, whoever lights with olive oil, everything is fine. Does the olive oil have to be edible? No, simply no. Rabbi Eliyahu believes that it is best to light with olive oil, which is edible, but according to the law, it is not necessary. Now what happens when I light the candles and there is oil left? There is oil left. Now that's how it is permitted. The oil in the candle is it, it was assigned to its mitzvah, and therefore you cannot use it. Shabbat So what can you do? You can light it tomorrow, but if on the eighth day you have oil or wicks left over or wicks all day, you have to throw them away respectfully, so put them in a bag and throw them away. You can't use this oil for Shabbat things. Okay, so these are songs about wicks or oils. We talked about Shabbat holidays. It's allowed from Shabbat to Shabbat. I think not. I think not. Although the Shabbat candle and the Hanukkah candle are more important because of the peace of the house, but I'm not sure that's possible. There's no need to check it out anymore. But thank God today, I don't think anyone needs these candles for Shabbat. Everything's fine. Oh, wait a minute. Now, the question is, can I talk about it now? Look, about the yeshiva, let's explain a little bit what's going on. So here, thank God, there's no separate room for Sephardim and Ashkenazim . At least I hope so. It could be that by chance that everyone is Ashkenazim or that everyone is Sephardim, but it doesn't seem like that. That means that in every house, in every room, there are both Sephardim and Ashkenazim. The Ashkenazim in the yeshiva must light it. We've already explained that. The Sephardim in the yeshiva have to light it. So what will happen now? Now let's give a simple example. I'm in a room with Sephardim Ashkenazim with Sephardim Ashkenazim. Okay? So the Ashkenazim will light it. How much should they light it? Apparently everyone has to light it. Sometimes there's no room in the room to light it because it's not possible to put it at the door of the room. There are rooms here that are very, very, very tight, so they do n't have to all light it, but they'll share a penny. I mean, you can forgive the penny, but one will light it and the other will bring him a few pennies to say that I'm a partner. You can also light it in the dining room because the dining room here is one of the rooms' dining rooms, and at home you can also light it in the dining room. So whoever wants to in the dining room can light it in the dining room. Whoever wants to in the door of the room in the door of the room. Whoever lives in what's it called? Kitchens here, then he'll light it in the windows because everyone who passes by sees things. Of course, what are the instructions? It's not allowed in the rooms, so it's not allowed in the rooms, so it's not allowed. No, I didn't remember. But outside the room, maybe it's impossible, so you also need to light it safely. Not just because, thank God, there have already been several fires here, no, thank God, there have already been several fires here, so we don't need it on our heads, so everyone has to do the math. A Sephardic person does n't light it now. There are methods among the Sephardim because he doesn't live in a house. He lives here, so he has a house in a house that his father owns. But he lives here, so maybe he needs to light it. The religion of Rabbi Eliyahu, the religion of Rabbi Ovadia, and that's how many of the great men believe. But the Sephardim, Rabbi Ovadia and Rabbi Eliyahu, believe that a yeshiva boy doesn't bless when lighting candles in a yeshiva. Although Rabbi Meshesh wrote that he does bless because it's his house. I'm having a discussion with Rabbi Eliyahu about this. He says, "This is not his house. How do I know it's not his house? Because when you're sick, you go home. Where is your house? Your house? Where do you live? Where are your parents? If you're sick, a person doesn't stay there. He goes home. And so, simply put, everything is fine. What do n't you hear? Oh, okay. So, oh, so, that's why I, I, my recommendation all these years is that Sephardim won't bless. Someone will come. He will say, I am a follower of Rabbi Meshesh and everything I do I go by what he says I cannot argue with Rabbi Meshesh he is a great scholar and all but in simple terms Sephardim will not bless here Sephardim will not bless in the yeshiva Does he have to give a penny for the Ashkenazim So for the Misha it is not so nefkemina Why because we said that Ashkenazim can forgive the pota So what is so nefkemina So that is why Sephardim will not light the blessing What will happen if there is a room only for Sephardim I mean it is not only a room for Sephardim but Ashkenazim married So what do we do So then it may be that there should be lighting but without a blessing they will light so that they do not say that there are people here who do not light Hanukkah candles But it seems to me that this is rare So I said in the yeshiva Sephardim will not run away They will not run away for lighting candles Nor will they light them And they get away with their debts In their father's house What happens to their parents Not in the Sephardim house Ashkenazim It is not a problem because they light them themselves But what happens to Sephardim They are not in the parents' house Not in the home So what do we do The question Where are they? If they are outside the country and there is a seven-hour 10-hour time difference, then of course they have to say a blessing because no one says a blessing for them. No one lights them for them. But if they go to someone else or they are somewhere else, then they take them out. Wherever they are, wherever they light them, they take them out. Yes, questions. If the father can't light them, why can't he light them? Maybe the father is fine. I'm the mother. We'll explain. You ask well. The obligation of lighting Hanukkah candles is the same for women and men. That is, what happens if a woman lives alone, her husband has passed away, or she is single? She must light the obligation of lighting Hanukkah candles. There is no difference between men and women. Therefore, if a man, unfortunately, his father, has passed away, then the mother will light candles and she will take him out because she is obligated to light candles just as her husband was. She would light candles. Understand? Good. Oh, so it's a simple thing that a single woman or an older woman who doesn't have a husband or a divorced woman or she must light them. The obligation of lighting them is not on men. The lighting is for both women and men. Why doesn't the woman light candles at home? At least Ashkenazim, Sephardim, I understand. The father takes out all the meschachut. But why don't Ashkenazi women say blessings, don't light candles? Because the husband takes it out by force. It's simply his wife as his own body. That's why they light one Hanukkah for the father and the mother and the sons light candles. There's a question about whether girls light candles, but here it's not a matter of understanding. So no, we won't discuss it. Simply put, girls don't light them. Ashkenazi women don't light them either. Why? Because it's not an educational law. Why isn't it an educational law? When they're married, you'll take it when they get married, but really, you need the cell phone for that, oh, you're checking now, you're not bothering, it's fine, they're waiting, no problem, we found it. Oh, it's the same food, believe me. No, you'll take it. Well, take at least one. Hallelujah, take it. Hallelujah, let's go. Do you hear where we are? Where are we women? Women don't light candles, girls don't light candles either. Why? Because there's no educational commandment in that. Why? Because when she gets married she'll light candles. No. So why now educate her to do something you wouldn't do? And so they don't light candles. I know that today it's not popular to say that girls don't light candles. That's fine. I understand that. But girls now if a guy is a little girl By the way, it's like that among the Sephardim too. A five-year-old girl comes home with her Hanukkah smacked from kindergarten and says I want to light candles. So what do you tell her? No, it's forbidden to light candles. You can light candles. But without a blessing. Without a blessing to light candles. Both Sephardim and Ashkenazim. Children who are of the mitzvot will light candles with a blessing. What did you want? When does father not bring out? When does he not bring out? I don't know? I don't know. What do you mean? What are you? If you have a house? If you get married and you have a house? What if you don't have a house in Savyon? If you're not married and you have a house, then you have to light candles at home because you have a house today. You don't have a house. Your house is where your parents live, unless you are a propertyless person, which I don't know. You but but most people here are normal people who don't have any other home besides the house and they don't live in any other home except the house that your parents have and that's why your father takes you out you will have your own home you will light up in your home of course a father doesn't take out a married child who has a home or an unmarried child who has a home and lives in another home he doesn't take him out he just yeshiva doesn't count as your home according to Rabbi Ovadia according to Rabbi Ovadia and Rabbi Eliyahu it doesn't count as your home it counts as you being a guest here but it's not really your home and it also looks like that yes if I'm in a room that's all Ashkenazim something that everyone is Ashkenazim I don't hear if I'm in a room where everyone is Ashkenazim and there's only one who has a hanukkah what should I do I don't understand the question at all Hanukkah you knew a year in advance that there is right take care of yourself what does that mean what what what is it I don't have a hanukkah it's like you say I'm coming for Passover and I don't have matzah so what what am I supposed to do eat bread what do you want what get organized it's a mitzvah get organized for this mitzvah what is the second question I hope it's better if I have a window in the room and it's a kasbah kasbah it's not Advertising the miracle only if it's a house and it's a lie and maybe there are people who are lying it's not advertising the miracle because Gentiles it's not advertising the miracle because what will they say soldiers where there are soldiers it's advertising the miracle that's why we light it in the same way in We were lighting in the butte Not in the butte We also light it I think well I don't know but soldiers you're right if you know there are soldiers then you can yes if the child is from a mother then he goes out goes out is it the parents' duty to find him yes Sephardim but he is Ashkenazi the child is Sephardim the child and the parents what is good talk to me in detail it's complicated it's very complicated yes if there is a mother who is the husband can the son be yes it's clear why because there is a law of mission in Hanukkah candles let's say that the married son comes with his family to his mother and his mother respects him to light the Hanukkah candles of the house. What's the problem? After all she has to light and she gives the mission to the son who lights. Everything is good, everything is fine. Ashkenazim too what's the difference between the two? I didn't understand what the difference is. There is no difference. Well, I see that we need to stop because there is here Noise. I can't hear, I won't hear the questions. It stopped. Yes. What are you saying? I'm coming back late to the yeshiva. Someone is late. I can ask him to let me out with his lighting. Yes. But he needs to light more chanukah. I mean, you need to light it. Are you coming back late? Light it when you come back. There's always a miracle announcement here . People will always get up. Okay? Okay, now I want enough. Now I want to explain a point that is very, very common and maybe in a second we'll finish. So listen carefully, a person does n't light on time. It's not good not to light on time. I explained it, but what happens? Why doesn't he light on time? Because there's a lighting at grandma's. We go to grandma's to light candles. It's very beautiful. So first of all, it's best to tell the parents to go to light the candles, it's grandma's after you light them at your place. Light them at your place and then go to grandma's. Or light the mincha portion and then go to grandma's, that's best, but let's say you didn't succeed in lighting the candles at grandma's place, so we go to grandma's. Candles are lit now. You don't go out quite as much as you should. Why don't you go out quite as much as you should? Because you don't sleep there. You'll sleep at home. So there's no problem. Some grandma will light them. Grandma will light them. She'll let someone light them. Like we said on the mission. Later, I'll be back home at eight. I'll light candles for a year. It's a simple matter. What will happen? And this is the most problematic thing. What will happen to a person? He's in a yeshiva, for example, or at home. And he's traveling and doesn't come back to sleep here. You understand the question. He's here at five, but he won't come back. He's alive. He's traveling. He's traveling. He's going to sleep at his parents'. Where will he light them? He'll light them at that house or in the house. Ashkenazim will light them here. That is, Sephardim fulfill their obligation. Baba. So we've already talked about it. Ashkenazim will light them where they are at the time of lighting them. What is the lighting time? We explained when the lighting time is. He will light candles at the time of lighting them. Two more points. I want to talk about Shabbat Eve and Motzai Shabbat. First, Shabbat Eve on Hanukkah requires praying a large mincha so that a person can Lighting Shabbat candles and Hanukkah candles at the same time. That's one. Which do you light first? It doesn't really matter, but the custom is to light the Hanukkah candles first and then the Shabbat candles. Okay? How long do they need to burn? Do the math with me. We light them 25 minutes before sunset. So that's 25 minutes of sunset, another 18 minutes of sunset, that's 43 plus half an hour that we need to burn until until the stars appear another half an hour. So that's 43 plus half an hour that's the minimum minimum. So that's why whoever takes these thin candles in life won't be in life it won't happen you don't want to wait another five minutes whisper no problem just open the door maybe you hear let's remember them inside so they don't make a mess of us in our sleep this is over let's see when they're full open them open them when it's this. You hear Motzash So it's Shabbat Eve. Motzash What's going on? Motzash This is interesting On the night of the moon, you have to light candles at the time of the stars, but we delay the departure of Shabbat, so we never light them on the side of the stars. Therefore, what we do on the night of the moon is to hurry up. We advance the prayer. We advance the prayer of the night of the moon of the moon of the moon. Instead of half an hour after sunset, we will pray 20 minutes after sunset and immediately afterwards we go home and light Hanukkah candles. Those who are stricter than Rabbi Tam, there are people who are stricter than Rabbi Tam, so what will they do? It is an hour and 12 minutes before sunset. So what is Jesus doing on Hanukkah? The Rabbi Hemer said that on Hanukkah, we do light candles on time, even though we usually keep time. Rabbi Tam said that on Hanukkah, we do light candles on time, even though we usually keep time. On Hanukkah, it is a special law, because it is strict, just strict, and we need to be as specific as possible about the time that needs to be lit. Therefore, candles will be lit on the night of the moon according to that time. One more point regarding the night of the moon. And I will hear a few questions, and I have many more, but I think we have covered the main point. What happens if a person was in a hotel on Shabbat, he was in a hotel. Now he On Shabbat night, he leaves the hotel. He leaves the B&B, the hotel he is in. Where will he light the candles? It is best to light them wherever he is at the time of lighting. Even though he will soon be leaving the hotel. In any case, he needs to be there at the time of lighting, he is there, so he will light the candles there. Obviously, he will have to wait half an hour by the candles. One more point about this that is very, very important. Can a person light candles for half an hour and simply turn them off? Yes, but he does not spend half an hour, but rather, he finds the stars for half an hour. You understand what I mean. I mean, in Hai 535, he can say "Fu" and turn off the candles, but he has to stipulate this in advance because the billing time is what you determine, and if you put oil for two hours, you wanted two hours for the Hanukkah candle to burn. Well, I have to travel, so stipulate that after half an hour I can turn off the candles. Is it okay to turn off the candles? It is possible. Well, a few questions, and I am going. Yes, I have two questions. One is if the house is completely empty. Does it matter? No, if it is completely empty and there is no light there. And they know that there are no people, there is no point in lighting it, there is no point in putting a messenger to light it, yes, if a person lives on a farm, on a farm, what does that mean? There is no publication, what does that mean? Because he is alone, he is alone, one person, one person, so you didn't listen. I explained that someone who lights on time lights with a blessing even in a lonely place. We explained that, it's a shame. Yes, does a person who draws blood from our Lord and has a publication of the miracle also have an hour at 12? Yes, that's a good question. A good question because according to the Rambam's and the Hierarchy's reasoning, it is impossible to say a blessing after half an hour, a little after the stars, so I think it is better to light it. Yes, it is better to light it. Yes, today there is a custom of keeping the light on, both for the father and for all who go. Yes, do n't say custom, don't say custom, because custom is a halakhic concept. Custom is the letters of hell. You say custom, it is not custom, it is just, it is nonsense, it is waiting. Okay? So that's where the poskim disagreed. There are poskim who say they don't wait. Whoever lights a house on time. But if he gets hurt and his wife gets hurt and he gets hurt, because poor thing, he works for the whole house, The fathers usually work. Then he comes back and says, "Hello, is anyone here?" We didn't light candles, we ate sugniyot, we ate sphinx. And what about me? Oh, maybe one person stayed, didn't stay, and he's poor, so but that's on the condition that there is a miracle announcement. If he returns at two in the morning, it's not clear that he's going to do it, but if he returns at six in the morning, at seven in the evening, and there is a miracle announcement, both family and sick, and as we explained here, oh, there's also logic in waiting, but it's not the custom. The custom is to light candles on time. It's the custom. If, for example, I'm in a hotel, there's a blog full of Chanukahs that are lit. Yes, then it's okay. It's better to look for another place. No, you can't because in a hotel, they don't allow lighting in the rooms and the lobby. This is the place. It's like your living room of the house. So that's why it's allowed. You want to look for another place. You can, but it's not. It's not a problem. Even among Ashkenazim, they light lots and lots of Chanukahs in the same place. It's okay. Yes, the rabbi didn't touch the evening prayer. The evening prayer, let's touch now. Where is the gabbai here? He's still gone. There's five more minutes, or when is the rabbi's lesson? Kestel, it's 220, okay, so five minutes, we have five more minutes, Arabic, Arabic, there are customs like anything, but that's how it is. used to pray Arabic at sunset and light the starry night. This is the custom of the Ashkenazi Sephardim. There are two customs. There is a custom where you light it and then go to Arabic. There is a custom where you pray Arabic and return to Arabic and light it. The best is to light it and go to Arabic. Now in a yeshiva, it's not a problem because in a yeshiva, the times are fixed and there is a light, so it's not a problem. But if you're at home, then the best thing is for the Sephardim to do Arabic at sunset. That means right after sunset, then go home after 10 minutes and light the starry night. Whoever doesn't, then he should light the starry night and then go to pray. But that's less good because time is critical here, as we said in the Rambam's method, it's critical. In the order of Tadir, it's not related to Tadir. You're right, that's why the Sephardim pray at sunset and then they solve the problem of Tadir as well, but the Hanukkah commandment is special, so that's why It's not that it's not related to the issue. Yes, the height of the candles. The height of the candles. I didn't talk about the height of the candles. Because the height of the candles is only for those who light them at the entrance to the house. It should be between three and 10 inches. And it also depends on which direction. I didn't talk about it that much. Because most people today light them either inside the house. It's on the table. It's not at a low height. Or they light them in the window. It's higher. What is in the window? In the window. It can also be in front of the window. Yes, yes, yes, yes. If the wind blew the candles away within half an hour. Yes, then apparently not because lighting them is a mitzvah. But if you put the chanukah in a place where you knew that after 20 seconds, it would go out. Then you won't light the Chanukah candles. So you have to be smart too. It's not enough. So if there's, say, a thunderstorm. And that's when you put them inside the house. It's better if you don't have an aquarium like that. A glass box. And when they put them in a glass box, it doesn't get damaged. Yes, three more questions. And I want to go. If I don't put it at the entrance to the house either, I put it in the base of the dhanah. Because putting It on a certain side right left yes it depends on whether there is a mezuzah or not if there is a mezuzah on the other side if there is no mezuzah put on that side yes without family what do family members find the years in the future advertising family members find the years yes advertising this is also family members but three people yes unless you light it on time in the matter of a there is only one person no there is no matter that doubt in what is it there is only one person I didn't understand as if there is only one person who sees the no there is no such thing as one person it depends on what time you light it and I've explained it 20 times already if you light it on time then no word was uttered if you light it not on time you need three you and two more yes in the barrel that is lit on the house or sacks in the channel it doesn't matter so much but if there is a mezuzah I already answered him if there is a mezuzah light it on the other side oh the candles the candles the candles the way usually light there are also two methods in this but usually light the positive candle on the left and go to the right not when you are facing the chanukah what not you have to be outside outside and then you Good lighting Another last question There are ages in the minute It's six Age Yes Like a guy and then the other one It doesn't matter what that means What what do they do there With Ashkenazim everyone lights right But asking is there an issue when the guy lights and then the other one doesn't light together What does that mean You have to light at the right time Everyone lights at the right time Yes Yes Everyone lights at the right time So what is the firstborn Yes We said last question Right already You light it This minute is not good because there Yes You are right Rabbi Shomeezman asks this question Many campers ask this question Why does he have it Because it doesn't count at all It's not to that extent. I mean It's not to that extent Unless it's such a wind that you are sure it would put this out But if it's not It's not It doesn't delay everything It's not You ask well The poskim ask this question So because you asked well I will ask one more question I didn't understand Oh In half an hour that candles are lit Sing songs Eat donuts Tell about a miracle Say words of Torah Women don't do work In this half hour Women have a pethor Not every work They want to fry Issues It's allowed It's like crafts Of Chol Hamoed, but they don't sew. At the rabbis, they look at the candles for half an hour, they look at the candles, trying to take it in. It seems to me that once again, the rabbi said half an hour ago, only bread for sustenance is forbidden. It is forbidden to eat bread for sustenance in large quantities. The same thing. All the best, Sala. Yes.
