From: "Menachem Posner" <><br>.. I was a asking whether having the lights arranged in a straight row is<br><div class="Ih2E3d">preferred to a semi-circular or curved arrangement. In other words, is a<br>semi circle problematic in terms of being k'madurah?
<br>>><br><br></div>See KSA 139:9: "Haneros yihyu beshureh achas beshaveh lo echad gavoah<br>ve'echad namuch.."<br>which one could read as you say. However he goes on to say that a dish full<br>of oil surrounded by wicks and is covered - it's OK. Ayen shom.
