Day: Sunday Date: December 14, 2014 Parshat: Miketz Yalkut Yosef: 671
Ideally the flames of the Hannuka candles should be within three and ten tefachim (about 5 to 32 inches) from the floor. The candles themselves may be lower than three tefachim. One who put the flames higher than ten tefachim has nevertheless fulfilled his obligation as long as they are less than twenty amot (32 feet) from the ground. If the flames of the candles are higher than 20 amot from the ground they must be extinguished and relit at an acceptable height with no beracha. The Menorah should be placed on the left side of the front doorway opposite the mezuzah such that when people pass through they are surrounded by mitzvot.
The DSH is brought to you in memory of Rabbi Mordechai ben Daniel. Please visit us online at sephardichalacha.orgr |
