# Preferably, one should use a chanukia and not just stick wax candles on top of a counter and light them as such. <Ref> Chacham Tzvi 45 holds that sticking wax candles without a chanukia is fine. Mishna Brurah 671:18 clearly implies this way as well. Yalkut Yosef 671:15 writes that one should be strict to use a chanukia because some hold that it is absolutely necessary. Avnei Nezer OC 2:500 quotes that the Chessed L’avraham who says that this is a requirement. Rav Hershel Schachter (“Bava Metsia Shiur 35” min. 17-9) strongly recommended using a chanukia, but mentioned that on occasion Rav Soloveitchik would light wax candles directly on a window sill. </ref> | # Preferably, one should use a chanukia and not just stick wax candles on top of a counter and light them as such. <Ref> Chacham Tzvi 45 holds that sticking wax candles without a chanukia is fine.
