Bio: Sometimes the best we can do in attributing a historical work is to indicate the period and place it was written, the first prayer book it may have been printed in, or the archival collection in which the manuscript was found. We invite the public to help to attribute all works to their original composers. If you know something not mentioned in the commentary offered, please leave a comment or contact us.

הַנֵּרוֹת הַאֵלוּ אָנוּ מַדְלִיקִין
עַל הַיְשׁוּעוֹת
וְעַל הַנִּסִּים
וְעַל הַנִּפְלָאוֹת
אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתָ לַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ
עַל יְדֵי כֹּהֲנֶיךָ הַקְּדוֹשִׁים
וְכׇל (מִצְוֺת) שְׁמוֹנַת יְמֵי חֲנֻכָּה
הַנֵּרוֹת הַאֵלוּ קוֹדֶשׁ
וְאֵין לָנוּ רְשׁוּת לְהִשְׁתַּמֵּשׁ בָּהֶם
אֶלָּא לִרְאוֹתָן בִּלְבָד
כְּדֵי לְהוֹדוֹת לְשִׁמְךָ
עַל נִפְלְאוֹתֶיךָ
וְעַל נִסֶּיךָ
וְעַל יְשׁוּעָתֶךָ׃ (מסכת סופרים כ:ו)
