Where to put the Menorah

Where to put the Menorah Day: Sunday Date: November 29, 2015 Parshat: Vayeshev Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 671 Ideally the flames of the Hannuka candles should be between 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. No beracha is made on the relighting. 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 the Mitzvot on both sides DSH is brought to you in memory of Rabbi Mordechai ben Daniel.
