- Q. (See the questions 5213 -16 above). Is there a special meaning or Brocho for someone that Hashem gives this most unusual beautiful opportunity to light the Menorah during the same Yom Tov, at both corners of the world?
A. One should always thank Hashem for being able to comply with any mitzva properly. That is the reason we recite a brocho, blessing Hashem for giving us that opportunity and gift. In your case you should have that special unique intention in your mind and share it with your family.
