RE: CANDLES

Asked by Al · May 11, 2004 · Shabbat

Question

There is nothing to do now. For the future, she should always make sure to light at candle lighting time (18 minutes before Shkiya), unless you come home before that. Then she can light before Kiddush. She is not required to be mekabel Shabbos (light candles) when you go to Shul for the early Shabbos Minyan. CYA I noticed that CYA did not denounce the concept of making an early Shabbos which involves davening Maariv before sunset. Rav Aaron Abadi said many times that this should NEVER be done. Is there a difference of opinion between Aaron and CYA regarding the above?

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

You can make an early Shabbat, yet pray Arbit/Maariv after the meal. I learned that trick from CYA.... AA
