Chanukah 5781: Asking for Miracles on Chanukah

from Machshavah Lab · host Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!This morning's shiur (12/18/20 at Lomdeha) was an adventure in "tefilah archaeology" focusing on a curious addition to the end of Al ha'Nissim involving a request for miracles. After surveying the evidence which establishes that this is the authentic version of Al ha'Nissim, we investigate the reason why most Ashkenazim don't include this request. We then analyze the ideas behind each of these approaches and conclude with practical tefilah advice for how to frame our davening during the last tefilah of Chanukah 2020/5781, when our need for miracles is great. ----------מקורות:על הנסים - נוסח אשכנזעל הנסים - נוסח הרמב"םעל הנסים - סדר רב עמרם גאוןעל הנסים - סידור רס"גמסכת סופרים כ:זשולחן ערוך אורח חיים סימן תרפ"ב: עם משנה ברורה וערוך השולחןספר המנהיג הלכות מגילה עמוד רמזמהר"ם מרוטנבורג - תשובות פסקים ומנהגים חלק א' סימן תרי"בתלמוד בבלי ברכות דף לד עמוד אאבודרהם - חנוכהתוספות מדילה דף ד עמוד אטור אורח חיים תרפב:גרמב"ם: משנה תורה, ספר זמנים, הלכות מגילה וחנוכה ג:ארמב"ם: משנה תורה, ספר המדע, הלכות תשובה ט:בבכור שור שבת דף כא עמוד א----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
