Reply To: Are you sure you lit the menora?

yitayningwut: The sources clearly say “at the doorway of the house, outside, within a tefach of the doorway”. There are reasons why davka there. Glass is mentioned in mishnayos (especially seder taharos) and I have no reason to assume it was colored. Anyway it can be quite windy in Eretz Yisrael, even more so than in the U.S. in some places (like Yerushalayim, on a hill, for example). I’m sure they figured out how to do it. (Agav, my shamash was outside the box and lit for six hours without a problem. Of course that may not work for everyone.)

DaasYochid: I agree with you. I tried to be careful with the wording

EDITED

I guess I wasn’t thorough enough.
