Kiddush and Candles

Hi,

We have already mentioned that one should look at the Shabbat candles before reciting Kiddush on Friday night. According to one school, one must recite Kiddush in the room containing the Shabbat candles. This is a minority view.

In practice, it is preferable to eat in the room with the candles. Since the candles are there to provide enjoyment rather than pain, one may eat elsewhere if eating in that room would be difficult.

(Code of Jewish Law Orach Chaim 273:7; Mishneh Berurah 273:32)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
