Should one light Yom Tov candles when it is already Yom Tov? Should one light in a well lit room? Can one make a bracha on an electric light? Should one recite shehechianu on the candles, or wait until kiddush? Why is there a blessing on lighting? How early can one light? Should one recite the blessing before or after lighting? Where does a hotel guest light? Can one recite a blessing, and leave the house, not to see the candles on shabbos? Do women need to daven maariv on erev shabbos and motzai shabbos? Are women required to make kiddush and havdala? Should the wine be red, not pasteurized, and not sweetened? When can one recite kiddush over challah? Is a light bulb good for a ner havdala? When does one recite borei me'orei ha'eish?
