Question
I live on the 4th floor (above 20 amot), and there are no buildings opposite. Is there a point in lighting the Chanukah candles at the window, or can I initially light them on the table?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
If there is no angle from which people in the public domain can see the candles, at a height of less than twenty amot, you may initially light them on the table.
