Lighting Hanukkah Candles for a Single Man
Question
Hello Rabbi,
Does a student, single, living in a shared apartment (they don’t really light candles much), paying rent for himself, and going back to his parents’ home on weekends, need to / can he light and recite the blessing over Hanukkah candles?
Answer
I didn’t understand the question. If the apartment is rented by you, then you must light and recite the blessing. So what is the question?
