RIDDLE #3 The 9 days of Chanukah
In the early days, some communities
observed 9 days of Chanukah
The טורי אבן (R.H.18b) & מנחת חינוך
(#301: 6) both claim that in the early days
when they were מקדש החדש ע"פ ראיה,
in those places where the שלוחים couldn't make
it on time to notify when ראש חדש was they
observed 9 days of Chanukah. (מספק)
The פרי חדש gives 3 reasons why we
don't keep 9 days of Chanukah, today in חוץ לארץ.
1) Chanukah is דרבנן
2) 8 days of מילה, the יוונים tried to stop
3) We want to be מפרסם נס חנוכה, which was
only 8 days & not 9 days.
