May one light Chanukah candles indoors when people light inside their homes?
Synopsis
According to the Rema and some authorities, when people light indoors (in modern times), there is no need to strictly observe the marketplace-traffic time requirement. However, the Tur argues that even indoor lighting requires the standard shiur since the home entrance may be visible to passersby.
