If someone started lighting the menorah and realized after he lit the first candle can he still recite the Brachos?
If someone forgot to add an extra candle for that night of chanukah and only realised later that evening
Should he light an additional candle?
Should he make a bracha when lighting that candle?
Should he light it even if the other candles have already gone out?
