Where do we light, in the dorm where we sleep or in the dinning room where we sleep. Maybe in the Bais Medrish where we live or in the coffee room where we spend our time

And you move out of the dorm for chanuka, because it’s dangerous to light so many candles in the yeshiva
November 27, 2013 7:43 pm at 7:43 pm #990684peacefullMemberAren’t rules meant to be burned – broken.
So then it’s where they say not to light
November 27, 2013 7:47 pm at 7:47 pm #990685popa_bar_abbaParticipantGee, you’ll really feel good about yourself if a couple of kids die in a fire you start breaking the rules. Won’t that be a hooooooooooooooooooot.
Just imagine how much fun it will be taking off seder to go to levaya’s and shiva houses and shloshim’s etc. But you should balance that against the fact that you’ll probably sign up to learn mishnayos for them.
This isn’t funny.

November 28, 2013 3:16 am at 3:16 am #990687🍫Syag LchochmaParticipantat telshe they don’t move out. and they take these rules very seriously.
November 28, 2013 3:29 am at 3:29 am #990688peacefullMember@KolHaolam: LAKEWOOD: Massive fire at Yeahiva dorm, apparently started from candles of a #Chanukah #Menorah. Heavy flames can be seen. FD on scene.
November 29, 2013 4:04 pm at 4:04 pm #990689yeshivaguy45ParticipantThere’s a machlokes between R’ Moshe Feinsten Zatzal and R” Aharon Kotler Zatzal. R’ Moshe held you light where you sleep. R’ Aharon held you light where you eat. Peacefull, as you pointed out, it’s dangerous to light in the dorm. This isn’t the only story I’ve heard about this happening. Therefore, a lot of yeshivos go like R’ Aharon
November 29, 2013 7:03 pm at 7:03 pm #990690HaLeiViParticipantThe Rama says that these days, that the Pirsumei Nisa is for the household, even the Rosh would agree to light where you eat.

lighting the Chanukah menorah. The
Torah mitzvah one fulfills is
“V’nishmartem me’od
l’nafshoseichem” (Devarim 4:15) which
stipulates that one must take safety
precautions and protect oneself and
others. Fire is extremely dangerous and
many people have been injured or killed,
R”l, when proper safety measures were
not taken regarding Chanukah flames.
The other mitzvos of Chanukah are
d’Rabbanan.”
