Second Night of Sukkos

On the second night, the candles should be kindled with a pre-existing flame, and not before Tzeis Hakochavim (8:20pm). The Brochos are L’Hadlik Ner Shel Yom Tov and Shehecheyanu.

Maariv (and Kiddush) should not begin before this time, nor should tasks and preparations required for the second night and day of Yom Tov be performed before this time.

Candles must not be waxed into place, nor may the wicks be twisted. When necessary, one may remove the wax from the previous night in a way that it falls directly into the bin.

[See section “Candle-Lighting” for further details, and section “First two nights of Sukkos” for matters relevant to the meal.]
