For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L.
Translated from Yalkut Yosef:
1. The simple minhag
(custom) is to light Chanukah candles in Bet Knesset (Shul) with the appropriate Berachot
(blessings) to increase Pirsumei Nisah (the publication of the miracle of
Chanukah).
2. We follow this minhag
of lighting Chanukah candles in Bet HaKnesset between Mincha and Arvit, even
before the appropriate time of lighting (Tzet HaKochavim, Nightfall when 3
stars come out) but after Shkiyah (sunset), because we do not want to delay the
people praying from going to their homes and lighting at home at the right
time. Also during the actual Tefillah of Arvit (prayer itself) we want the
people praying to see the candles lit which is fulfilling the Mitzvah of
Pirsumei Nisah (publicizing the miracle of Chanukah). If we would wait until
after Arvit, then there would be no Pirsumei Nisah because everyone is rushing
home to light the candles for their family.
