I had to travel on the first night and my older son was becoming bar mitzva that night. So he lit for the whole family, his first real mitzva and we waited until tzeit hakochavim. | |

If he wants to say kiddush for everyone, would probably need to rule strictly and wait until dark. Something rabbinic, can be lenient and wait until shkiya... | |
| May 26, 2015 at 21:06 | comment | added | Scimonster | It certainly might be analogous to Brit milah, an argument of which i wasn't aware. As for Shabbat, i know that we're stricter about that than other things. | |
| May 26, 2015 at 21:00 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | Would you agree that during Bein haShemashot he is a Safek? How is this different than any other "when does day end and night begin" sort of question (eg. date of Brit Milah, start of Shabbat, etc.) | |
