May I
light the chanukiah at my family's Chanukah party?
One may not
light at a Chanukah party located in another person's house. One who will
return home after traffic outside his house has ceased should light before going
to the party, after plag haminchah (3:45 PM in Thornhill at the start of
Chanukah this year), assuming the chanukiah will remain lit until more than 30
minutes after the stars emerge.
If the
above solution is not possible, one should have someone light in his home at the proper
time, or one should light after returning from the party, making sure that
someone else is awake to see his chanukiah.
(Shulchan
Aruch Orach Chaim 677:1; Mishneh Berurah 677:12, 679:2; Rivivot Ephraim
4:163:12, 16, 32)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
