| Dec 13, 2017 at 17:09 | comment | added | paquda | @DoubleAA, the source doesn't discuss single people living alone, just the issue of a requirement of pirsumei nisa in order to make a brakhah. Trying to extrapolate based on that requirement seemed to lead to something that goes against what I think from experience people commonly do, which is why I had a question. | |
| Dec 12, 2017 at 21:48 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @paquda It's factually incorrect that an apartment typically does not have doors (or even usually windows) that open to a public space. But yes, I agree that such a hypothetical location would seemingly be equivalent to a time after the market has quieted down. In which case you already have your source and your answer. What are you still looking for? | |
| Dec 12, 2017 at 21:47 | comment | added | paquda | @DoubleAA, I assumed that in an apartment, which typically cannot have windows or doors opening out to pedestrian thoroughfares, the situation is equivalent to the time after pedestrians have ceased from the market. | |
| Dec 12, 2017 at 21:34 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @paquda that's talking about after the market has quieted down. You were asking before that no? | |
| Dec 12, 2017 at 21:13 | comment | added | paquda | See a few pages later on Mishnah Brurah 627: 11 -- כל הלילה - עד עמוד השחר ובברכה והיינו דוקא אם בני הבית נעורים אבל אם ישנים אין לברך עליהם אלא ידליק בלא ברכה דכמו דלדידהו לא היה מברך אלא בזמן פרסום הנס ה"נ לדידן. ואם בא לביתו קודם עה"ש ומצא ב"ב ישנים מן הנכון שיקיצם כדי שיוכל להדליק בברכה | |
| Dec 12, 2017 at 21:13 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | One candle suffices for himself and his household means one candle is sufficient and there is no need for two candles. It doesn't indicate anything about who needs to be able to see it | |
