Question
My wife cannot be at home during the candle lighting. Should I light without her, or wait for her even if the time passes?
Answer
It is permissible to wait for the wife if there is a need for it. If there is no possibility for her to be home at the time of lighting, it all depends on the situation. However, one must strive and be careful to light on time, especially since according to all opinions, this is related to the principle of "the diligent perform mitzvot early."
