Binyanadead: Since when are the mitzvos of Purim medeoraisa? Yes, many mitzvos asay shehazman grama are set aside due to AF HEIM B’OSO HANEIS. However, chanuka menoros are slightly different because of how we practice NER ISH U’BEISO. Many women (not all) do not light. We let our daughters decide what they wanted to do since in my wife’s family the women did not light.
