Question

I live in a multi-story building on the 12th floor, which is much higher than twenty cubits. Where should I light the Hanukkah candles?

Answer

Shalom Rav

It is advisable to light the candles at the window of your home and hang colorful lights next to the candles, as they attract attention even above 20 cubits.
