KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT BECHOL YOM MUVTACH LO SHEHOO BEN HAOLAM HABA

For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L.
Translated from Yalkut Yosef:

1. Even though the Mitzvah of Nerot Chanukah (lighting Chanukah candles) pushes off the Mitzvah of Tzedakah (charity) [we learn this from the Halacha that a poor person needs to sell his own clothing to buy candles to light the Menorah], the Mitzvah of Chanukah does not push off any Mitzvah from the Torah (for example, if I am about to light Chanukah candles and my father asks me to make him tea, I must make him tea first).

2. If one has enough wicks and oil to light the best amount of candles for Chanukah, meaning the number of candles marks the day of Chanukah (for ex. six candles on the sixth day) and their friend doesn’t have oil or candles; it is better to light one candle per night (for ex. a single candle on the first, second, third, etc. day of Chanukah) to give the zchut (privilege) to the friend to light Chanukah candles. This stands because according to Halacha one only needs to light a single candle per night.
