Daf HaYomi B'Halacha Daily Email - 24 Teves/Dec 28

 

Which brochos may be said after lighting the candles? Prior to lighting the menorah, the brochos of L’hadlik Ner and Sh’asah Nissim are recited. On the first night, a brocha of Shehechiyonu is recited as well. After lighting the first candle, the pizmon of Haneiros Halalu is recited. Some wait to say it until all the candles are lit. The following halochos apply if a person forgot to recite the brochos before lighting the menorah: 1) If he remembers before lighting the additional candles (on the second night and onward), he should recite all the brochos. 2) If he only realizes after all the candles were lit, he may still recite Sh’asah Nissim and Shehechiyonu (on the first night).
