Question
I live in a unit that has no windows at all.
The entrance to the unit leads to a vestibule of storage rooms, and there is a door that is always open to the floor’s lobby, but there is only one neighbor who lives next to me and will see the candles if I light at the entrance to the unit.
Where is the best place to light — at the entrance to the unit, at the entrance to the storage-room area, or is it better at the building’s main entrance?
Thank you
Answer
Shalom u’vracha
Light at the entrance to your home.
The main pirsumei nissa (publicizing of the miracle), however, is for you yourself, so leave the door open for the first half hour.
