Purim and Chanukah are both rabbinic holidays, yet we say Hallel on Chanukah but not on Purim. Why? In this fascinating discussion, we explore the six rabbinic mitzvot of Purim and why the Rambam sees them as one unified commandment. We also dive into the Talmud’s explanations for the absence of Hallel on Purim: Was it because the miracle happened outside of Eretz Yisrael? Were the Jews still servants of Ahasuerus? Or is the Megillah itself our Hallel? This profound lesson sheds light on the difference between salvation in exile and Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel.
