The Mitzvah of Chanukah Lights: Points to Ponder
by HaRav Chaim Charlap
The gemora in Shabbos (21b) states: "The
essential commandment of the Chanukah lights is to light one
candle each night for each man and his entire household. And
those who pursue mitzvos (mehadrin) have one light
each night, for each and every one in the household. And for
those who most fervently pursue mitzvos (mehadrin min
hamehadrin), one should add a light for each member on
each succeeding night."

slave to the Arabs.
