* The Briatta in Gemara Shabbat 23a states that Chanuka candles should be lit outside by the door of the house. There’s a dispute where one has a courtyard between one’s doorway and the public domain if the candles should be placed by the house door or the courtyard’s entrance to the public domain. Rashi (D”H MeBaChutz) writes that it should put in the courtyard and not public domain, whereas Tosfot D”H Mitzvah argue that it should be placed by the entrance to the courtyard. [The Ran (Shabbat 9b D”H Tanu) agrees with Rashi.] Tur and S”A 671:5 rule like Tosfot that the candles should be placed at the entrance to the courtyard.
