#One doesn’t fulfill his obligation with the lighting in Shul even if one did the lighting and so one can light at home for his family with all the [[Brachot]].<ref>Mishna Brurah 671:45, Sh”t Rivash 111 says that one doesn’t fulfill his obligation with the lighting in Shul. This is also the opinion of Rama 671:7. Gra (671:7 s.v. viein) explains the obligation of lighting is personal and also related to one’s household and one doesn’t fulfill that aspect of the lighting when lighting in Shul. </ref> However if he lives by himself and he lit in Shul for the congregation, when he lights at home, according to Sephardim, he should only say the Bracha of LeHadlik Ner (and not SheAssa Nissim and [[Shehecheyanu]]). Ashkenazim, however, can say LeHadlik and SheAssa just not [[Shehecheyanu]]. <ref>Sh”t Zera Emet 1:96 says that once one said the Bracha of [[Shehecheyanu]] in Shul one doesn’t repeat it at home unless one is fulfilling the obligation of his family. This is also the opinion of Shaarei Teshuva 671:11 and Mishna Brurah 671:45. Sh”t Igrot Moshe O”C 1:190 argues on Zera Emet that there should be no difference between [[Shehecheyanu]] and SheAssa Nisim (and thus one should be able to repeat all the [[Brachot]] even by oneself). Yalkut Yosef (Moadim pg 200), Halichot Olam 1 pg 66, Taharat Mayim, Sh”t Hitorerut Teshuva 1:103, Leket Yosher 151, and Sh”t Yechave Daat 2:77 say that if one is only lighting at home for himself and he made the [[Brachot]] in Shul he should only make the Bracha of LeHadlik Ner. </ref> | #One doesn’t fulfill his obligation with the lighting in Shul even if one did the lighting and so one can light at home for his family with all the [[Brachot]].<ref>Mishna Brurah 671:45, Sh”t Rivash 111 says that one doesn’t fulfill his obligation with the lighting in Shul.

Rav Soloveitchik (Nefesh Harav p. 225) agreed.</ref> | ||
#On a Friday afternoon, if one already lit at home before coming to Shul (as will everyone else) he should light in Shul without the Bracha [[Shehecheyanu]]. Sephardim say that one shouldn’t say the bracha of She’assa Nisim either but just the bracha of LeHadlik. <ref>Sh”t Tzitz Eliezer 13:69 based on the Bach says that even if one said the Bracha of [[Shehecheyanu]] at home one can still say it at Shul on Friday afternoon when everyone there already lit with [[Brachot]]. However Sh”t Chatom Sofer O”C 55 and Shaarei Knesset HaGedolah argue on the Bach. Sephardim should not even repeat She’assa Nisim as brought down by Yalkut Yosef (Moadim pg 200 note 37) and Ben Ish Chai Vayeshev 11. </ref> | #On a Friday afternoon, if one already lit at home before coming to Shul (as will everyone else) he should light in Shul without the Bracha [[Shehecheyanu]].
