Since Hanukkah is not mentioned in the Torah, why do we say bercahot with hashem’s name, especially lehadlik ner which includes “asher kiddishanu bemitzvotav”. If hanukah is not part of the commandments directly and is derabanan, it seems a bit weird. I think I’m probably just mixing up some concepts I learned in my Yeshiva high school.

For those interested, the question this question is marked as a duplicate of, is itself marked as a duplicate of: "Who Commanded Us, and For What?"– Tamir EvanCommented Dec 8, 2023 at 4:47
