Additions In Teffilah On Chanukah

The Daily Halacha Moment - Additions in Teffilah During Chanukah 🕎

״כל השונה הלכות בכל יום - מובטח לו שהוא בן העולם הבא״ (נידה עג ע״א, מגילה כח:)

“Anyone who studies Halachot every day is guaranteed that he is destined for the world-to-come” (Megilla 28b, Niddah 73a)

Question:

What additions do we add to our teffilot on Chanukah?

Answer:

There are several things that we add to our teffilot during chanukah aside from Al HaNissim.

On all eight days of Chanukah, the complete Hallel is recited with a Berachah. [1]

Women are exempt from reciting Hallel on Chanukah. If a Sefardic woman wants to recite Hallel, she may do so without a berachah. [2]

Similarly, on Chanukah, Tachanun, Tzidkatecha, and Tzidduk HaDin are omitted. [3] After reciting the Shir Shel Hayom, one should recite Mizmor Shir Chanukat Habayit. [4]
