Why is there no scroll read de-

QJLO is Oft
scribing the miraculous events
of Hannka, Just like the Book of
Esther which is read daring
Purim?
Basically, the answer to this
question is that while the Book of
Esther is an official book of the
Jewish Canon, there is no Canoni-
cal Book (a book of sacred Scrip-
ture) that contains the story of
Hanuka. The Book of Maccabees,
which does contain the story, is
an extra-canonical book, i.e. a part
of the Apocrypha. It is interesting
to note that during the Middle
Ages some synagogues were known
to have used the book of Macca-
bees. Yemenite Jews still read this
book. Some of our prayers contain
this book.
