Surprising Omission

The gemara says that according to the strict letter of the law it is sufficient to light ONE candle every night of Chanukah. Our custom of lighting one additional candle every night is a beautification of the mitzva. Why, asks Tzvi Moshe, does the Shulchan Oruch ONumbered ListMIT the basic law of Chanukah that one must light one candle a night??

Tzvi Moshe is HIP!
