Description

The most complete version of a shiur available in a couple of other forms on-line. Why does Rambam record the laws of Hallel in the laws of Chanukah? (1) Hallel as the central mitzvah of Chanukah, and (2) The Hallel of Chanukah representing a response to a miracle, not a ritual associated with a korban.
