Question
What is the height for placing the Menorah?
Answer
The mitzvah is to place the Chanukah candles above three tefachim from the floor of the house or apartment (which is 24 cm or 28.8 cm), and not higher than ten tefachim (which is 80 cm or 96 cm). If placing it above ten tefachim results in greater publicizing of the miracle, it is preferable to place it above ten tefachim, provided it is within 20 amot from the street.
