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

Length: 16 minutes
Synopsis: 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.
