#5705 Take the Less Traveled Path
Kvod Harav. Last year I had this sad experience. If on Chanuka someones overseas flight was delayed until almost daybreak, until when can one still light the Chanuka candles.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that one can light with a Bracha until Alos Hashachar (day break) as recorded in a proper and correct Halacha Luach or times list.
We must mention that Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that in principle one should avoid traveling during Chanuka, specially in our unsure times of so uncertain traveling schedules and timing programs.
