Question
When arranging the Hanukkah candles from right to left (Shulchan Aruch), is this the right side of the person standing inside the house or the right side of the person standing outside?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
It depends on where the person who is lighting is standing.
The main point is that a person begins with the new candle, which is the one farthest to his left, and then continues to his right.
