Question
I light candles at the entrance of the house. At what height should I place the candles?
Answer
Shalom and Happy Hanukkah
The optimal way to fulfill the mitzvah is to place the candles at a height between 30 cm and 80 cm from the floor. However, placing them above this height still fulfills the obligation, provided they are not placed at a height of about 10 meters from the floor.
