<DIV><BR>Now, we know that the mehadrin approach is for there to be a candle
for<BR>every member of the house (or 1/night for each member to be mehadrin

<DIV>>>>>></DIV>
<DIV>With my son away in yeshiva this year, my husband lit one menorah for the
whole family. When my son is home, he lights his own menorah and my
husband lights for the rest of us (myself and my daughters).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I was not aware of any hiddur of lighting one candle for each person.
Do you mean one menorah for each person? "One candle" wouldn't make it
clear which night of Chanuka it was.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don't know the reason for what we do BTW but I do know that it was done
the same way in my natal home -- my father lit for the house, and my brothers
each lit his own menorah. <BR><BR></DIV></FONT></DIV>
