News You Can Use • On Motzei Shabbos, December 31, Chanukah candles should be lit after the emergence of three

stars, which is at 6:19pm. • In a shul, the custom is to light the menorah before saying Havdalah on Motzei Shabbos. At

home, there are two equally accepted customs: Some recite havdalah first, and others light the menorah first. If you do not have an established custom, you should first recite Havdalah, and then light the menorah. (See Chanukah Laws booklet on our website for comprehensive laws, or pick up a copy from our flyer rack.)

• Monday, January 2 there will be an additional Shacharis minyan at 9am in the Daily Minyan.
