Question
What is the order of lighting Hanukkah candles in the synagogue when they are placed on a table?
Answer
The candles are placed from east to west. On the first day, begin with the eastern candle, which is the right candle closest to the Ark. On the other days, start with the left candle and move to the right, i.e., from west to east. [This instruction is given for places where the Ark is on the east side of the synagogue; in other places, follow the direction of the Ark].
