Question
I am unsure where I should light the Hanukkah candles: at the entrance of the house, which is hidden by a fence and not visible to passersby on the street, or at a window that can be seen from the street?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
You should light the candles at the window that is visible to passersby in the public domain.
