The Beloved Mitzvah of Ner Chanukah - Answers (Hilchos Megilah v'Chanukah 4:12)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 16 minutesSynopsis: This afternoon (12/21/22), in our Rambam Bekius mini-shiur, we spent one more day on the sugya of Ner Chanukah as a "mitzvah chavivah." We read a piece from the Rav in Mi'Pninei ha'Rav which explained why the Rambam calls Ner Chanukah a "mitzvah chavivah," even though it's not the only mitzvah with the theme of pirsumei nisa. I found this answer more compelling than the other answers we've discussed this week.-----מקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר זמנים, הלכות מגילה וחנוכה ד:יבמפניני הרב, קפט-קצרש"י - שבת דף כב עמוד ב -----The Torah content for the month of Kislev has been sponsored by Serena and Paul Koppel, who want to be makir tov and express gratitude.-----If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
