Mentioning Chanukah in Meein Shalosh

Menucha Magazine | June 27, 2025

As Reuven left the bakery holding a bag with a donut in his hand, he headed for the park. When he reached the park, he sat down on a bench, opened the bag and took out the donut. He marveled at its beauty. “I love Chanukah!” exclaimed Reuven and proceeded making a bracha on the donut.

After he finished eating the donut, he began saying the after-bracha on the donut with much joy. He did not have a siddur with him, so he was saying the bracha by heart. When he reached close to the middle of the bracha he began wondering if there is a special line that’s said on Chanukah in the Al Hamicha bracha. “I know we insert a line when it’s Shabbos, Yom Tom, Rosh Chodesh...” he thought to himself, “but I am not sure if we do it on Chanukah.”

Question: Is there a special line inserted on Chanuka in the Me’ein Shalosh bracha?
