I stopped when I was thirteen and my menorah cracked. My mother offered to get me a new one and I decided not to for a few reasons. My sister stopped at twelve because she was the only girl in her class who still lit. Now my current twelve-year-old sister is still lighting and probably will keep lighting.

Is there more of a thing for boys to keep lighting on their own later than girls? I’m asking because in a family I know, the girls stopped at 13-14 and the boys still light on their own. I never asked them their case, but in your opinion, is it more of a boy thing or just specific to each person, no matter the gender?
