• Non-Jews may become antagonistic.
• Others may extinguish or steal the menorah.
• The winter weather conditions of rain and strong winds do not make it practical to light outside.

• If the door of the house is adjacent to the street, the menorah should be placed in the street outside the door.
• If there is a garden or yard between the street and the door of the house, there are two customs where to light. Some place the menorah in the street by the entrance to the garden or yard, and some place it inside the garden or yard by the entrance to the house.

• This depends on the two customs mentioned earlier (see question 4). According to the first custom, the menorah should be lit either in the street by the entrance to the communal garden or yard, or by the door of the apartment building.
• According to the second custom, it should be lit inside the house by a window that faces the street. If there is no window that faces the street but neighbors pass by his front door, the menorah should be lit there. Otherwise, see previous question. (source: OC 671:5; Rabbi Nissim Karelitz)

• The entrance to the garden, yard, or house is not visible from the street (see question 14).
• When living in an apartment building, according to the second custom (see question 16).
• In the Diaspora (see question 2).
• Another person already lit by the entrance to the building, according to one opinion (see question 18).

Some opinions disqualify a window that is higher than 20 cubits since the menorah is not easily noticed from the street. According to this opinion, the menorah should be lit next to the door of the house or of the building.

• If he sleeps in the dormitory, he should light there.
• If he sleeps at home or with a family, it is preferable to light where he sleeps. However, if this will cause considerable disturbance to his learning schedule, he should light at the school.
