Menorah Lighting Venue

The Jewish Weekly | December 07, 2025

One must light at home (where he usually eats and sleeps) and nowhere else. Even if eating out, one must still light the Menorah at home.

If one is away from home the entire night, he should light at the place where he is lodging. If he is still there the following night, he may light there as well, even if he intends to relocate later during the night.

One should avoid crossing the International Dateline during Chanukah. Similarly, one should avoid travel plans that prevent him from lodging overnight in a dwelling. One who finds himself in such a situation should consult a Rav.
