==Hadlakat Nerot of Yom Kippur== | |||
# The minhag is to light candles on Erev Yom Kippur with a bracha. <ref> S"A 610:1 writes that in places where there's a minhag to light candles on Erev Yom Kippur, one should do so, and in places where the minhag is not to light candles on Erev Yom Kippur one should also follow that practice. S"A 610:2 writes that there is an opinion that says one should make a bracha upon lighting candles on Erev Yom Kippur. The Rama 610:2 and Yalkut Yosef 610:1 write that the widespread minhag in Klal Yisrael is to light candles on Erev Yom Kippur with a bracha.</ref> | |||
# If a woman only says the bracha of Hadlakat Nerot, under extenuating circumstances a woman may have intention not to accept upon herself Yom Kippur with her lighting of the candles and then she would be allowed to go to shul by car after having lit candles. However, if she is not going to accept upon herself Yom Kippur, then she may not say the Shehechiyanu bracha because once she says the bracha of Shehechiyanu she has automatically accepted upon herself Yom Kippur and she may not then ride in a car to shul or the like. <ref>Rav Hershel Schachter in Nefesh HaRav (p. 210). Rabbi Hershel Schachter also explained this in a [[http://www.yutorah.org/lectures/lecture.cfm/782120/Rabbi_Hershel_Schachter/Inyonei_Yom_Hakippurim shiur on Inyonei Yom Kippur (min 50-5)]. This is based on the Gemara in Eiruvin 40b which writes that once one said the Shehechiyanu bracha for Yom Kippur one has automatically accepted Yom Kippur. </ref> | |||
