One Halakha Closer to Becoming an Eshet Hayil

Shabbat Kodesh Parashat Vayeshev

Hadlakat Nerot NY 4:10pm
Mossaei Shabbat 5:18pm
Rabbenu Tam 5:40pm

11. On Erev Shabbat (Friday evening), the hanukiah is lit before the Shabbat candles so that we do not create a situation where we light Hanukah candles when we have already accepted Shabbat upon ourselves.  As it must remain lit for a half hour after nightfall and at the same time, must be lit at least several minutes before sunset, it must contain enough oil or large enough candles to remain lit for over an hour in order to last half an hour past Seit HaKokhavim.
