Candle Lighting on Yom Tov: Difference between revisions

# There is a Minhag of those who say [[Shehecheyanu]] before they light [[Yom Tov]] candles. However, many authorities hold that one shouldn't make a [[Shehecheyanu]] over the lighting at that time. Rather one should either say it after the lighting or wait until Kiddish to hear the bracha then. <ref> Rav Yacov Emden in Sh”t Sheilat Yavetz 1:107 writes that there’s a Minhag to say [[Shehecheyanu]] before lighting [[Yom Tov]] candles. However he expresses his wonderment about the Minhag considering that it lacks any source or basis expect it’s noting in the Kitzur Shlah or Eliyah Rabba. Nonetheless, he concludes that his wife actually had such a Minhag and he didn’t stop her from continuing the Minhag. Rav Ovadyah Yosef in Sh”t Yachave Daat 3:34 writes that it’s an improper Minhag based on the Leket Yosher (1 pg 49(3); a student of the Trumat HaDeshen) who implies this from the Or Zaruh 2 Hilchot Ever [[Shabbat]] 11. So hold many poskim quoted in Yacheve Daat including Chesed LeAlafim, Yafeh Lev, Petach Dvir, and Bet Ovad. Source Sheet: http://docs.google.com/View?id=dg37c33t_82f8tkwcz8 </ref>
