Business Menorah

Question

I would like to light the candles at work; however, my employer says that it will not be possible unless I have an electric menorah. Since I cannot find one here, he will only allow me to light the menorah if I blow out the candles at the end of the day. I am in a quandary as to what to do.

Answer

One is supposed to light candles only where they sleep (live). Why don’t you light when you get home from work?
