Where to put the Hanukkiah

Where to put the Hanukkiah Day: Wednesday Date: November 28, 2018 Parshat: Vayeshev Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 671 Sponsored by Skilled Moving and Storage.

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 hanukkiah should be placed on the left side of the front doorway opposite the mezuzah so that when people pass through the doorway they are surrounded by mitzvot on either side.
