Location for Lighting Hanukkah Candle - Living on a High Floor
Question
An Ashkenazi living in a building on the sixth floor, facing several buildings, where should he light, and if lighting by the window, is it better near the window or at the edge of the balcony so it can be seen by the lower floors?
Answer
Hello and Happy Hanukkah
Light by the window of your home, in a place that is noticeable inside the house as well. There is also some publicity in what is visible to neighbors in the opposite buildings.
