Description

Why don't we mention Chanukah in Al Hamichya? What is Mizmor Shir Chanukat Habayit (Psalm 30) about, and why do we say it during davening on Chanukah? Why Do We Only Say a Half-Kaddish After Hallel on Chanukah? The answers to these questions can teach us not only about the development and structure of the davening, but also about why we eat "latkes" on Chanukah, and what Mizmor Shir Chanukat Habayit means for us as people who struggle.
