S"A SIMAN 264 SIF 6 MISHNA BERURA SIF KATAN 23 Mateh Mosheh] It appears to me that all of this depends upon the quality of the candle. The type of candle we use [called stearin] which /gives a light that/ is undoubtedly clearer than wax, and which one would not normally tilt /to make burn better/ even on a weekday, is preferable to a wax candle — perhaps even to all oils. MISHNA BERURA DIRSHU CHELEK 3 Q:SHOULD YOU JUST TURN ON ELECTRIC LIGHTS AND NOT USE CANDLES AND WHAT ARE SOME MINHAGIM ABOUT WHAT TO LIGHT?
