6176– Need Another Megillah?
Q. Dear Rabbi. Thanks so much or your great answers. I have one more question. Why is there also no Megillat Chanukah (in Tanach) or a Mesechet Chanukah (in Talmud)?
A. As we mentioned in the last question, Chanuka stands clearly as a celebration of two distinct victories and miracles.
Not all of the many miracles of survival we have historically experienced have given us the writings you question, as there would be no end to the Holy Books needed. They are all in principle and understanding represented by the others.
