in early seforim there is no mention of last day chanuka as a day for tefilla, it is a recent chasidish thing.
So we celebrate same as the other days

In the past we wrnt up to Meron to daven. Zos Chanukah is a BIG day by the Rashbi.
Tonight my family went to daven by Rav Gedaliah MiZhvil and Kever Rochel ( weather too nasty for a long drive up north). This is THE day for tefilla. Nothing to do with Chassidish or Litvish. In Israel alot of frum people know the 8th day is special.

Can anyone share more on this ? Iโ€™d love to tap into the potential of the day but what exactly is it?

Im not sure u can say that without sourcesโ€ฆ from my (admittedly limited) research so far I can only find anything from chassidish sources.

Zos Chanukah is the day Hashem seals His judgment for each Jew from Yom Kippur.
It is a big day for tefila

Never heard of this.
FFB non chassidish

We celebrate the same as every other night, light the menorah and sing.

Clean the chanukiya and put it away!

I'm off work today, do I think we're going have a milchic seuda this afternoon to take a last chance to bensch with Al haNissim.

I think that a key point mentioned here is that there is a MESORA that is not in the Shas or the Zohar or the Arizal's writings, but a MESORA for many generations that the gates of teshuva are open till the 8th day of Chanukah.
Whoever can read the Hebrew should. It's beautiful.

Here is Rav Fanger (Super Litvak) talking (in Hebrew) about Zos Chanukah (less than a minute).

This isn't a source. It's been making its rounds for the past few years but isn't in the Kedushas Halevi anywhere.
