Lieber, Julie.
"Shining Outward: The Lights of Hanukah," Lieber, Julie.. Vehigadet Levitekh, JOFA, 2003.
Synopsis: Julie Lieber compares the act of lighting candles on Shabbat to that on Hanukkah. She concludes that, though the blessing associated with the lighting on both occasions is almost identical, the purpose of the action is very different.
