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.

So tonight is Khaneka and tonight we lit the last and eighth candle of Khaneka and it's a very special day. So whenever we say goodbye to magnificent days, we always need to ask ourselves what do we take away? What do we take home from these magnificent days of Khaneka? [cough] So [clears throat] the we'll deal to it tonight is on one hand still because it is Khan but it's more a general discussion about the mitzvah when ach performs a mitzvah for others. The mo of Roman quotes the if a person was already madik in his own home and then he lights in a neighbor's home and this is a very common question in the past two years and this year as well I was asked by many families the husband is in Milim the wife is home alone with little kids. She doesn't feel comfortable lighting the alone and saying the even though [laughter] [cough] come in and light the min for us. Who makes the does the balas it's her mitzvah her home her minra or is it rather the person that is lighting the minra that would say the braha. So the M of Rome quotes the Bak and the Bak says if the woman is present then the one lighting the minra could say abra if the woman is not present then he can't say so let me make this clear if nobody lives in the house there's no miss of at all [snorts] and this is something which some Piskim have a different opinion. If one leaves his house and he's not going to be home from Plamina till the next day in the morning
