Torah Lessons (5703)	Chumash: Vayeishev, Shishi with Rashi. Tehillim: 119, 1-96. Tanya: And as for the general saying (p. 3)...self-glorification, and so on. (p. 5).

My father would kindle Chanuka lights between Mincha and Maariv; he was not particular whether the doorway was south-north or east- west.

Haneirot Halalu he said after kindling all the lights. He would sit near the lights for a half hour, except Fridays when he did not stay that long. He took care that the lights burned at least 50 minutes.

The order we follow is: Mincha, Chanuka lights, then Shabbat candles.
