Some claim that since the minhag is so novel, we may not extend it further.7 Others counter that the important matter is publiciz- ing the miracle, wherever the opportunity to do so may occur. If there are people present who have not yet fulfilled their mitzva ,8 or there will be a minyan for Maariv ,9 there are stronger grounds to extend the minhag. In any case, it appears that the classroom you mention can be considered a shul , certainly if there is a regular minyan there.<\/p>\n

However, the timing is problematic. The minhag is to light the candles in a shul between Mincha and Maariv,10 even when this is ier than one would light at ome.* 1 1 This facilitates proper pir- sumei nisa until after Maariv , after which people usually disperse quickly.12 Therefore, it is questionable whether your classroom is like a shul in this regard, since you are not davening Maariv, which is within the time of lighting.<\/p>\n

One might consider lighting the candles before the dvar Torah, so the children will see them dur- ing the subsequent several minutes. If the dvar Torah is to begin before sunset and finish after it, it probably pays to light after sunset.13 There is also a question whether one needs a minyan of 5.<\/p>\n

However, you may decide that the educational factors tip the scale in favor of doing a regular lighting.<\/p>\n

For example, one major consideration is whether any of the children come from homes where candles will not be lit Your e-mail address indicates that you are a rabbi, which should make you particularly suited to decide the halachic ele- ments. In your role as a teacher who \u201clives\u201d the childrens educa- tion, you should also factor in the educational elements of the experience. Whatever you decide about the berachot , you may extinguish the candles for security reasons. 14.<\/p>\n

We do not know the children\u2019s ages. 15. See Mikraei Kodesh 10:6. 16. Or, if the children are under bar mitzva, have one of them light and make the beracha – see ibid. d-12: Non-Jews Delivering Mishlo\u2019ach Manot Question: Where I live, a lot of people have non-Jewish household help.<\/p>\n

They often deliver the mishloach manot. Is that a halachic problem? Answer: In theory, there are four positions one can take regard- ing the delivering of mishloach manot : 1. The person who wants to fulfill the mitzva must do it. 2.<\/p>\n
