| 411.1 | very minor holiday | VINO::WEINER | Sam | Tue Dec 15 1987 21:58 | 4 |
| About the only difference in services (that I in my uninformed
knowledge) am aware of is the insertion of a few paragraphs
in the Shemonei Esrei towards the end.

| 411.2 | Hanuka bentsching | CADSYS::REISS | Fern Alyza Reiss | Wed Dec 16 1987 09:41 | 5 |
|
Also, if you're into birkat hamazon (grace after meals), there's
a special addition for Hanuka.

| 411.3 | not YomTov... | CURIE::FEINBERG | Don Feinberg | Thu Dec 17 1987 17:25 | 9 |
|
Chanukah is not YomTov, therefore, no Hallel, etc., and
normal Shacharit, Tfillin, etc.
As was stated before, additions to Shmoneh Esrai and
Birkat Hamazon (but not Brocha Acharona).

| 411.4 | Another Halachic question... :^) | BRAT::DROTTER | Ambassador, Tir na Nog | Thu Dec 17 1987 23:47 | 6 |
| I think you forgot to mention one should also check and make sure
that his or her Mezuza "is-real ly" Kosher!

| 411.5 | And we read Torah | CSCMA::SEIDMAN | Aaron Seidman | Fri Dec 18 1987 09:25 | 9 |
| If you pray with a minyan, there is also a Torah reading from
Numbers, recalling the dedication of the Mishkan. On Rosh Hodesh (Hannukah
spans two months) there is both the RH reading and the Hannukah reading.
(In fact, I'm filling in for the regular reader at Reyim in Newton next
Monday and Tuesday, so I've just been reviewing it. If you are in the
vicinity drop in and say hello. 6:45 am. On Hannukah it will run about
an hour.)

| 411.6 | Another Chanukah question | YOUNG::YOUNG | | Fri Dec 18 1987 09:42 | 11 |
| As I understand the first blessing said over the Chanukah candles,
it ends "who commanded us to kindle the lights of Chanukah". Very
similar to the Shabbos blessing.
But, since Chanukah is not a Torah holiday, when/where is this command
given?
Just Curious (This may be an "ask the Rabbi" question)

re .6
Channukah is not of Torah origin, but of Rabbinic origin. However,the
reason that we have Channukah is because of a Divine intervention, i.e. in
the rededication of the temple and the miracle of the oil. In the
rededication of the temple, the Bes HaMigdash is not sanctified unless the
Menorah is lit- so there is a commandment to keep the menorah of the Bes
HaMigdash lit, and thus, the rabbis extrapolated that we should light our
own menorah as well, keeping the memory of the Bes HaMigdash alive.
There is a whole series of articles posted to usenet based on Mishnayos for
Channukah. If you would like them (there are 8 long articles), they are
among the few that I've saved, and I still have copies.

| 411.8 | Hallel is indeed recited on Chanukah... | TAVENG::CHAIM | Le'Chaim | Sun Dec 20 1987 03:03 | 11 |
| Re. .3:
Even though Chanukah is not a Yom Tov, Hallel (complete) is recited
all eight days. (Pesachim 117 -- see Rashbam)
Re. .5:
There are many cases where a Blessing is recited over a commandment
even though the commandment origin is Rabbinical and not Biblical.

| 411.9 | A slight correction | BEOWLF::STERN | There's Only so much Oil in the Ground | Mon Dec 21 1987 10:30 | 4 |
| Sorry. That was Beis HaMikdash, not HaMigdash. And to think that I've been
hearing it wrongly for all of these years...
