[Avodah] pach hashemen

From: "Moshe Y. Gluck" <mgluck at gmail.com>
>>I was thinking  that maybe they didn't bother recording the Neis of the 
Pach Shemen because they  were Melumad in Nisim in the Beis Hamikdash - like the 
Mishnah in Avos and the  Gemara in Yuma record. In the context of the daily 
Nisim in the Beis  HaMikdash....<< 




>>>>>
 
All those miracles were in the Bayis Rishon.  There were no  open miracles in 
the Bayis Sheni -- with the single exception of the pach  hashemen.  This 
miracle was therefore seen as a throwback to earlier  times and a brief sign of 
Hashem's favor, a momentary ray of sunshine in the  darkening gloom.
