Reply To: Chanukah Thoughts

The Ramban in Parashas Bahalascha explains that when Aharon the Kohen felt bad that he was left out of the chanukas hamizbeach and he was told by Hashem that yours is greater that your will light the Menorah forever (maybe as the view that Chanukah will not disappear at the time of Meshiach being a commemoration of the acceptance of the Oral Law) for Chanukah. The Rokeach has a hint from the Torah in Parashas Emor as after the description of the Yamim Tovim the Menorah is described (Chanukah) and Lechem Hapanim (Purim).
