Dec 12 at 20:46 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | This is a common but subtle historical misconception. Step 1 was outside (circa gemara times). Step 2 was inside on your dining room table / internal doorway (circa rishonim times). Step 3 was back to displaying it in windows (circa last couple hundred years). Finally Step 4 is the people who light outside again (20th century?). It's important to distinguish 2 and 3. The dispute about windows you mention isn't original but later reaction to the change of trying to publicize to the outside. | |
