Chanukah candles

The Rav Name: Rabbi Boaz Yurkowitz
  • Question

Is it permissible to use Chanukah candles which stay lit less than half an hour?

  • Answer
If the candles do not burn for at least half an hour, one has not fulfilled the obligation to light, and may not even make a blessing on them.
