Why Hannukah?

Part 1: The Rambam explains the holiday, but many misunderstand him. His message differs from the Tur’s.

Part 2: Megillath Taanith provides reasons for celebration aside from oil. The Jews could have lit the menorah with impure oil.

Part 3: Why we say Hallel on Hannukah and not on Purim. The meaning of nes, often translated as “miracle.”
