HAPPY CHANUKAH?
The Mechaber in Shulchan Aruch (O.Ch. 670: 2) writes"Chanukah was not instituted
for 诪砖转讛 & 砖诪讞讛".
The Rambam does write, that Chanukah is 讬诪讬 砖诪讞讛 讜讛诇诇
The Brisker Rav says that the Rambam meant with 讬诪讬 砖诪讞讛 only to
the extent that there is no Hesped & Ta'anis but not that there is a Chiyuv Simcha.
According to the above, it would not
be the appropriate greeting to wish someone "Happy Chanukah"
However according to the Taz who quotes from
the Maharshal, the Rambam does consider Chanuka as a Yom Tov
where 诪砖转讛 & 砖诪讞讛 are required.
Have a joyous &
Lechtigeh Chanukah

Babylonian Talmud, tractate Shabbat, page 21B:
ReplyDeleteOur Rabbis taught: The Chanukah lamp
[Menorah] should be placed near
the door of your house, from the outside.
If you live on an upper floor, place it
in a window that faces in the public domain.
In a time of danger, place it on your table,
and that is enough.

Rabbi Steven Pruzansky of Congregation
Bnai Yeshurun in Teaneck, New Jersey:
“…the [ancient] Greeks, against whom the
Maccabees fought and prevailed, were avid
supporters of and indulgers in homosexuality.
It was just one of the immoral practices
of the Hellenists that the faithful Jews
found so repugnant, and therefore went
to war in order to purge the land of it.”

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:
“It is true that the American legal system
derives much of its content from the Old Testament
[also known as the Jewish Bible or Tanach]...
When we were growing up, my friends and
I would take great pride in discovering
the Jewish sources of American laws, such as:
the privilege against self-incrimination,
the requirement of two witnesses for certain
types of crime, and the very idea that punishment
must be proportionate to the crime committed.”
