Until what time at night may one light a Menora in Shul if it is not lit by Mincha, and should it be lit before or after Maariv?
It should be lit before Maariv if everyone will be leaving immediately after Maariv.
Until what time at night may the Shul’s Menorah be lit?[1]
One may light the Shul’s Menorah so long as there is a Minyan present and the Menorah has not yet been lit in that Shul, and the Minyan has not yet participated in another Shul’s lighting. This applies even if the entire Minyan already lit their Menorah at home and it is very late.
