Dec 19, 2022 at 18:29 comment added Fred @mweiss Gershon linked to the Nit'ei Gavriel (Rabbi Gavriel Zinner), who cited the Ritva (Shabbos 23a) and P'ri Chadash (OC 676) regarding whether or not to recite She'asah Nissim (and Shehechiyanu on the first night, but specifically excluding the first blessing on performing the mitzva itself) in various cases involving observing someone in a different household lighting. Shulchan 'Aruch (OC 676:3) rules that one should only do this when one will not be lighting that night, nor will anyone light at home for him, nor will he pay for a share in someone else's candle lighting.

Dec 7, 2015 at 19:41 comment added mweiss @DoubleAA What about She'asah Nissim?
Dec 7, 2015 at 19:38 comment added Double AA In general, only the person doing the Maaseh Mitzvah (the Mitzva action itself) says the blessing 'Asher Kiddeshanu...' whether or not that person is fulfilling any command (eg. putting a Mezuza on someone else's house).
