We can curse the darkness or light a little light.
Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks continues his series on Chanukah with the three lights: Shabbos, Chanukah and Havdalah. Shabbos candles are lit inside, symbolizing the inner sanctity of the home; Chanukah lights are lit outside, in a doorway or in a window; and havdalah candles with their woven wicks represent the fusion of the inner light and the outer light.
