Lighting the Chanukia before Shabbat

Quiz

1 - Which candles do you do light first?

• Chanuka
• Shabbat
• Whichever you like.

2 - If a woman already lit her Shabbat candles, what should she do about the Chanuka candles?

• Light them herself.
• Ask someone else to light (who has not taken on Shabbat) to light them for her.
• Leave them out because there is nothing to do about it.

3 - On Erev Shabbat we light earlier than usual. Therefore you must be careful to:

• Make sure that all Shabbat preparations are all finished.

• Have enough time to pray Mincha.
