Halachos of Chanukah Paperback
by Rabb Shimon D Eider (Author)

Product Description
On the twenty-fifth day of Kislev, the building of the Mishkan was completed. On that very same day, hundreds of years later, the Bais Hamikdosh was rededicated by the Chashmonaim after the defilement of the Greeks, and the miracle of the oil occurred. The eight days beginning from the twenty-fifth of Kislev were, therefore, designated by our Sages as days of praise and thanksgiving and they enacted the mitzvah of kindling lights on each evening of this eight-day period—in order to publicize the miracle.
The kindling of the Chanukah lights is the only area of halachah in which the Talmud singles out different levels of observance (e.g. mehadrin, mehadrin min hamehadrin). The purpose of this work is to facilitate this observance.

We have attempted to present these halachos in an organized, clear and concise manner. In keeping with this format the sources have been kept to a minimum and included as footnotes at the bottom of the page. English notes have been arranged to follow the corresponding paragraphs. It is our hope that the proper observance of these halachos will make us worthy of the coming of Mashiach and the rebuilding of the Holy Temple soon.

Topics include: • What is Chanukah? • What is permitted and forbidden? • The mitzvah of the Chanukah lights • Who is required to light? • Oil, candles, and wicks • The Chanukah menorah • Deriving benefit from the Chanukah lights • When are the lights kindled? • Where should the menorah be placed? • The blessings • General halachos concerning lighting • Lighting away from home and in shul • Lighting Erev Shabbos and Motza’ai Shabbos • The prayers and Torah reading on Chanukah
