What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Asher Weiss’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

It seems that in spite of this, there are some laws that have been learned from each other. Why do we light a Shabbat candle? It is acceptable to do so because of the peace of the house. Even though in our opinion there are many considerations about this, so a Sheves candle and a Hanukkah candle, or more precisely, not because we finish with a Sheves candle, a Bissu candle, or a Hanukkah candle, which is better than a Bissu candle because of the peace of the house. Rashi writes that a Bissu candle and a Hanukkah candle are better because of the peace of the house. On the night of Sheves, when he does not have enough to light two candles, should he light a Sheves candle or a Hanukkah candle? But one must pay attention to why Chazal talks about a Bissu candle, and about a Sheves candle. The book Los Kats, by Mary Haggaz, is doubtful. Is this question valid on every night of the nights of Hanukkah? It is only on the night of Sheves. Rashi writes to her that only on the night of Sheves. But why not this final Sheves candle, Hanukkah candle, not Hanukkah candle, not Hanukkah candle, so it is acceptable to do this because of the peace of the house, and it is based on the final Sheves candle before the Hanukkah candle, from there, peace of the house. But in the Rambam, we find two reasons. Others Rambam does not bring in the chapters of Halach Shevas the meaning of peace in the house. Chapter 5 Halach A Lech Shevas. The Rambam writes that one should light the river because of pleasure. Chapter 1 Loch Shevas. The
