[Avodah] cha-nittel

[saul newman via Avodah]

various nittel oriigins have been attributed--- including issues of tum'ah
but also mourning.
[eg  torah/relations are forbidden on tisha bav, and also to those who
practice Nittel].

i wonder why there wasn't a specific admonition to specifically limit
hanuka celebration when dec 24 nite and 1st candle coincide--  especially
since one aspect was forbidding jews [by the goyim ] to have candles lit on
the eve of the xtian feast...
