Sabbat candles when away from home

Hi,

We have been learning about Shabbat candles.

One who is not at home for Shabbat is obligated to make sure there is light where he will stay. Even one who has a spouse staying at home must still provide for light wherever (s)he will be, and must therefore light with a blessing.

(Code of Jewish Law Orach Chaim 263:6; Mishneh Berurah 263:28)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
