Halakhah for Shabbat 47:2

איבעיא להו מהו להזכיר של חנוכה בברכת המזון כיון דמדרבנן הוא לא מדכרינן או דילמא משום פרסומי ניסא מדכרינן אמר רבא אמר רב סחורה אמר רב הונא אינו מזכיר ואם בא להזכיר מזכיר בהודאה רב הונא בר יהודה איקלע לבי רבא סבר לאדכורי בבונה ירושלים אמר להו רב ששת כתפלה מה תפלה בהודאה אף ברכת המזון בהודאה:

Said R. Shesheth to them [the scholars], It is as the Prayer:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The 'Prayer' par excellence is the Eighteen Benedictions; v. p. 32, n. 3. ');"><sup>4</sup></span> Just as [it is inserted in] the Prayer in the [benediction of] 'Thanks,'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The eighteenth benediction. ');"><sup>5</sup></span> So [is it inserted in] grace after meals in the [benediction of] 'Thanks'.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The 'mention' is an added passage which relates very briefly the story of Hanukkah. ');"><sup>6</sup></span> The scholars propounded: Is New Moon to be mentioned in grace after meals? Should you say that it is unnecessary in the case of Hanukkah, which is only Rabbinical, then on New Moon, which is Biblical,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Cf. Num. XXVIII, 11-15. ');"><sup>7</sup></span>

Sefer HaChinukh

And they, may their memory be blessed, obligated us (Shabbat 24a) to mention the holiness of the day in the Grace after Meals, meaning to say the matter of Shabbat or holidays, as is known. And on the days that a person is obligated to eat [a meal] regardless, we make one that forgot and did not mention it in the blessing go back; and these are the two obligatory meals, which are the first night of Pesach and the first night of the holiday of Sukkot. And the opinion of some commentators is that we also make him go back on every Shabbat and every holiday.
