Hanukkah Candles on a High Floor

Question

I live on the 8th floor, and of course, the Hanukkah candles are not visible from the street. However, if I light them on the balcony, the neighbors from the opposite building will be able to see them. Is there a point in lighting on the balcony, or should I light inside the house?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

In such a case, you should light at the entrance of the balcony, in a place where the neighbors can see them.
