HALACHIC BULLETIN

On erev Shabbos Chanukah, mincha should be davened before lighting

Chanukah candles. There are two reasons for davening Minchah first:

1) The afternoon Tamid sacrifice, which corresponds to our Mincha service,

wasalways brought before the lighting of the Menorah in the Beis ha-

Mikdash

2) Davening Mincha after lighting Chanukah candles appears contradicto-

ry,since Minchah "belongs" to Friday, while the Chanukah candles "belong"

to Shabbos. But if no early minyan is available, then it is better to light first

and daven with a minyan afterwards.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN…

STAMFORD CONNECTICUT!

Wishing success to our shul president as he is the guest

speaker this shabbos for 200 high school students at an

NSCY SHABBATON!!

Yasher Koach Saul!!
