Halacha:

Chanukah 

Collections: Rabbi Fridman Chaburas in Chanukah

Description

An analysis of the perspective of the Ba'al HaMa'or and Ramban, respectively, on the permissibility of deriving benefit from Chanukah candles for a variety of purposes. The shiur contrasts the Ba'al HaMa'or's definition of bizui mitzvah with that of the Ramban, both in terms of the nature of the denigration, as well as the concomitant halachic consequences.
