- Q. Dear Rov Shlit’a. Baruch Hashem we have a large family with many children and grand children that visit us for the kindling of the Menorah on Chanuka.
Since many of the children are young and keep on playing close to the candles and as much as we try to prevent it, their racing sometimes turns off some of the many menorah lights we have.
Do we have to light again those menorahs? With a Bracha?
A.Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that it is not a necessity to light the candles again. Yet it is a "Hiddur Mitzva" or an enhancing of the beauty of the Menorah lightening Mitzva>
