Shabbat Candles: Difference between revisions

# A student in Yeshiva also has an obligation to light [[Shabbat]] candles and doesn't fulfill one's obligation with one's parent's if one is not at home.  Preferably, one should lit in the room one sleeps in, however, if that's impossible, a student can fulfill their obligation if there's one student or women who lights in the cafeteria with intent to fulfill the obligation of everyone. <ref> Piskei Teshuvot 263:11. See there where he adds that if the student isn't eating in the cafeteria but is eating in someone's house, seemingly one can't fulfill one's obligation with the candles lit in the cafeteria. Nonetheless, concludes the Piskei Teshuvot, that there's what to rely on the S"A HaRav who holds that by eating at someone's house one becomes like a family member. See the Sanctity of [[Shabbat]] (pg 10; by Rabbi Simcha Bunim Cohen) who quotes Rabbi Pinchas Shienberg who are lenient. </ref>
