Chanukah

Candle lighting time begins 10 minutes after sunset. If you are at services then, or for some other reason you cannot light at that time, you should do so immediately upon arriving home.

The candles must burn for at least half an hour after tzet hakochavim (when the stars come out; approximately 45 minutes after sunset). Therefore, you must use a sufficient amount of oil or candles large enough to last that amount of time.

If you use the small wax candles that burn for only half an hour, light them when the stars come out. If that is not possible, light as soon as you can after that time.

To determine when to light and for how long the candles need to burn, use the Chanukah Candle lighting Chart below which indicates the times for sunset and tzet hakochavim this year during Chanukah.

After sunset, we do not eat before we light candles. If this is a problem for you, please consult with the Rabbi.
