Women Lighting Their Own Menorah on Chanukah

Question:

Where should a widow or single woman living in her own home place the menorah? Can she light inside her home, for reasons of modesty, even if the Chanukah lights won't be seen by many people (e.g. the available windows don't face a public street)?

 

Answer:

Hello,

Even if it isn't a public street, as long as some people walking past can see it, she can light by such a window. If she doesn't have windows that people can see them, she should light by the door.

Best wishes
