Question
Shalom. I live near my parents, in a high-floor apartment without windows facing the public domain.
I sleep in this apartment, and I often eat at my parents’ home,
where there is a window facing the public domain. May I light the Chanukah menorah there? Or should I light where I sleep, in my own home?
Or in both places? And where should it be with a beracha and where without a beracha?
Answer
Shalom and blessings.
The place where you should light is in your own home.
If you have a window facing the neighbors, light there.
And if you do not have a window visible to the neighbors, light inside the house by the entrance, opposite the mezuzah.
