Chanukah 5786 - "כסוכה"

This Sunday night, we will begin Chanukah - a חג that has no mention in all of תנ”ך. But, we do find it discussed in a few דפים of גמרא שבת. There we see a מחלוקת between בית הלל and בית שמאי. בית שמאי states that we should light 8 candles of חנוכה on the first night and go down one each night - to mirror the structure of the קרבנות on סוכות, while בית הלל states that we should light one candle on the first day and add one each day - as we don’t go down in קדושה, only up. This מחלוקת triggers a few questions: Why are we comparing חנוכה to סוכות? What is the קדושה of חנוכה? And what is חנוכה all about as a whole? Recorded in Yeshivat Sha'alvim
