Question
I don't have a place to light in the yeshiva dormitory. Is it permissible for me to light in the yeshiva dining room, where there is a low window facing the main street, clearly visible to passersby?
Answer
If the yeshiva uses the dining room during the day, it is permissible to light in the dining room at the window facing the public domain. However, if the dining room is not used except during meal times, and especially if it is locked at other times, it should be considered that lighting in the dining room does not fulfill the obligation.
