Peace in the home
Hi,
"Rava said: It is obvious to me that if person has a choice between (1) acquiring fuel to illuminate his house for Shabbat, and (2) acquiring fuel for the Chanukah menorah, he should acquire fuel to illuminate his house for Shabbat; the importance of household peace overrides the mitzvah of publicizing the miracle of Chanukah.
"It is also obvious to me that if a person has a choice between (1) acquiring fuel to illuminate his house for Shabbat, and (2) acquiring wine for kiddush, he should acquire fuel to illuminate his house for Shabbat; the importance of household peace overrides the mitzvah of kiddush."
(Talmud, Shabbat 23b)
