Location for Lighting Candles – Resident on a High Floor
Question
I live on a high floor, higher than 20 amot. Where is it preferable to light?
At the window facing the street, but it is higher than 20 amot,
or at the window facing the building across the way, from where it can be seen,
or at the entrance to the balcony, which also faces the building across the way,
or on the balcony railing, from where it can be seen both in the building across the way and from the street (but this is higher than 20 amot).
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
He should light in the window of his home.
It is also good to place prominent colorful lights, so that in this way it will be noticeable even at a height of more than 20 amot.
