The Gemara says that it is forbidden to read by the light of a candle. A decree that is, when Gemara says that it is forbidden to read by the light of a candle. A decree that is, when one lights a candle with oil, a candle with oil and a wick, and the way the candle is lit, sometimes with the oil not so good or the wick is not so good, or when the oil goes down a little, then the oil lasts less after the wick. It can dance, it can sizzle, and a person reads by the light of a candle or uses some sizzle, and a person reads by the light of a candle or uses some utensil that requires a great deal of study, which these poskim actually rule on, for example, he wants to distinguish between wanting to wear a shirt and wanting to wear a garment, and he does not know, he wants to distinguish between all kinds of small tools that require a great deal of study. He wants to know that it's his clothes, not someone else's. So he brings it closer to the candle and looks at things that merit close study. So there is a concern that if this candle is getting too hot and it is almost burnt out, the person will tilt
