lighting candles

Question

Are we supposed to light candles for Friday night this year? What about Thursday night?

Answer

neither! One cannot light a fire unless it is needed for something. The candles are not needed for light, unless you have no light where you want to light the candles. However, you have to be honest about it. That means, if you have a legitimate reason why you need the light now, even though you didn't need it before. CYA
