The Unique Light Of Chanuakh - Rabbi Asher Weiss

[Music] let's share a thought about kanuka kanuka is very unique unlike other y most of them are biblical p there are only two that are rabinal and that is kanuka and puim and they are so different kanaka no meat and no wine no food and no drinks it is all about light lighting the candles of the man we drink and we eat both and khah come to commemorate salvation Salvation where Jews were discriminated and tortured so why are these two even so different in nature the explanation is a simple one the nature of every Young itive depends what are the events that we are to remember what is the message that we need to take home in the days of puim our nation our people were in Mortal danger danger of annihilation and the decree of was to destroy to murder to kill the people and therefore the way to remember the Salvation is a physical one because the danger was a physical one in the days of the Greeks it was not about Annihilation it was about tearing us away from our Torah from our MIT and the teachings of our rabbis it was about taking Torah out of our lives and that is why the we may to Rejoice is it is a festival it is a y of of a light t or Torah is light Torah is the light of our lives and that is what KH it is all about about the candles of kanah so these are days in which we need to rededicate and red devote Our Lives to Torah to the light of Hashem to the light of Torah and to the light of misas let us hope that we will see the rebuilding of the bash and we should see the C lighting the candles in the Bas of midash in Jerusalem [Music]
