There is no Mitzvah to
light Chanuka candles in Shul.
Lighting Chanukah candles
in Shul is not mentioned in
Bavli, Yerushalmi or Rambam.
Even the Tur & Shulchan
Aruch don't say there is
Chiyuv to light in Shul. They do
mention it indirectly. (where to place it and to light
it before Havdalah)
The Minhag of lighting in
Shul started in the times of the
Gaonim.
This Minhag is one of
the rare Minhagim
where we make a Bracha
אשר קדשנו במצותיו on a Minhag.
