As we have seen, the Sages ordained that one must light the \u0124anuka candles after sunset. If people were to light earlier, the sunlight would render the candles less visible. However, on Friday evening, obviously one may not light candles after sunset, since Shabbat begins at sunset, and on Shabbat one may not light a fire. In addition, one should not light immediately before sunset because of the mitzva of tosefet Shabbat<\/em>, which dictates that we begin Shabbat a bit early in order to extend the sanctity of Shabbat into the mundane week. In practice, most Israeli communities accept Shabbat about twenty minutes before sunset, and, accordingly, this is the Shabbat candle-lighting time that appears on Israeli calendars. On Shabbat \u0124anuka, one must light the \u0124anuka candles before lighting the Shabbat candles.[11]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Although we light \u0124anuka candles before sunset on Friday, the primary time for publicizing the miracle is at night. Therefore, one must make sure that there is sufficient wax or oil for the candles to remain lit until half an hour after tzeit<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It is preferable to pray Min\u0125a<\/em> with a minyan<\/em> before lighting the \u0124anuka candles, because Min\u0125a<\/em> relates to the outgoing day, whereas the candles are part of the upcoming day. However, one should not skip Min\u0125a<\/em> with a minyan<\/em> to this end (sa 679:1; mb ad loc<\/em>. 2; Kaf Ha-\u0125ayim<\/em> 671:79).<\/p>\n

On Motza\u2019ei Shabbat<\/em>, one must first pray Ma\u2019ariv<\/em> and then light candles. Many people also make havdala<\/em> before lighting, because havdala<\/em> concludes Shabbat, whereas the candles belong to the upcoming day (Taz<\/em> 681:1; ahs 681:2; Ben Ish \u0124ai<\/em>, Year 1, Hilkhot \u0124anuka<\/em> 21 [Vayeshev]). Others light \u0124anuka candles before havdala<\/em>, in order to light as soon as possible after tzeit<\/em>. Additionally, one should delay havdala<\/em> as much as possible in order to extend the sanctity of Shabbat to some extent. Nevertheless, in order for lighting candles to be permissible before havdala<\/em>, one must first recite either Ata \u0124onantanu<\/em> during the Amida<\/em> of Ma\u2019ariv<\/em> or the phrase \u201cbarukh ha-mavdil bein kodesh le-\u0125ol<\/em>\u201d (\u201cblessed is the One Who distinguishes between the sacred and the mundane\u201d) (sa and Rema 681:1). In practice, both customs are halakhically valid (bhl ad loc<\/em>.), and each person may choose his own custom.<\/p>\n

\n
\n[11]<\/a>. The custom in Jerusalem<\/strong> is normally to light Shabbat candles forty minutes before sunset. However, on Shabbat \u0124anuka, many Jerusalemites light only twenty minutes before sunset, so that they can light \u0124anuka candles closer to sunset (Lu\u2019a\u0125 Eretz Yisrael<\/em>). Others insist on lighting Shabbat candles at their regular time and simply light the \u0124anuka candles beforehand (see Igrot Moshe<\/em>, o\u0125 4:62).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
