Summary

(5740) Siyum of Rambam (Hil Chanukah 4:14): "If [[a person has the opportunity to fulfill only one of two mitzvot,] lighting a lamp for one's home [[i.e., Sabbath candles] or lighting a Chanukah lamp - or, alternatively, lighting a lamp for one's home or reciting kiddush - the lamp for one's home receives priority"

"Peace is great, for the entire Torah was given to bring about peace within the world" - Shalom is a critical aspect of Chanukah
