Q. This year the first light of Chanukah was lit on Motze Shabbat. Is it correct and better to prepare before the beginning of Shabbat the menorah and place it on the living room so it will be ready after the end of Shabbat as zerizin lamitzvot, Or maybe wait till after Shabbat, since it is not it's time yet and may conflict with it?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that if possible it should be prepared and set before Shabbos, both at home and in Shul. The Rov mentioned that his own father zt”l would prepare and set the next Shabbos candles immediately at the end of Shabbos.
