First of all, Happy Chanukah everyone! Hope you are enjoying your latkes and jelly donuts! Yum.
Chanukah, like Purim, is not a designated Holy Day of the Torah. Unlike Purim, it is not even mentioned in the Tanakh. It is strictly a Holy Day designated by the Sanhedrin.
I know that most of you celebrate Chanukah, although a few of you don't.
And some of you observe Oral Torah, though most of you do not.
I'm curious how your stance on Oral Torah effects your observance of Chanukah. I'm MOST interested in those of you who are sola scriptura (Bible only) who still celebrate Chanukah and how you justify it. Please be sure to take the poll.
As for me, I'm sure you all know I give credence to Oral Torah, so Chanukah is an in for me.
I look forward to your answers.
