a CAD a level on their level and the shame hog now let me says a leaf litter for the earlier shorter shorter only said a leaflet of a show Rock Samia Happy Hanukkah thank you all for joining us we're gonna take a short break to read very technical after that we'll have a very short class we have some super get note for you to enjoy here you can set them up set up the subway note don't forget to say Abraha stop we want to start hugs ma up while we like the Chanukah candles we are obligated in sitting for at least half an hour next to the candles and we're gonna learn tonight a little bit why and what's the point of it and what we should do while we're sitting next to the candles just to sit and talk there's no point the point is to sit next to the candles and to derive what I can benefit from the light of the candles it's extremely important that we actually take this half an hour that I'm concentrated on what I can actually achieve it was Chanukah at an auspicious time it's inauspicious moment we have half an hour of the day when the candles are lighting that I can actually benefit something spiritual for the rest of the year from this half an hour a lot of people they just sit down they they they schmooze they check their whatsapp's they read their emails but that's not the time to do it so just to give a very little background about Hanukkah Hanukkah the miracle of Hanukkah the whole thing happens at the time of the Second Temple at the time there was a lot of fighting between the Greeks and the Jews I'm not going to go through the entire story we have we had this week a few beautiful classes you can find them online and go and learn learn the history and what happened but mainly what our sages did it time is they decide that Hanukkah will be a holiday now really when you look in history there were numerous if not hundreds if not thousands of miracles in our past so why Daphna this miracle they made a holiday out of it there was many many many miracles and they didn't make a holiday out of that the reason why they make a miracle had a holiday out of Hanukkah is because the sages at the time were in a very high level had the water cold ish and they saw the following year only the following year they decided the Hanukkah will be a holiday they saw that the same godly light that was shining the day and the week of Hanukkah it came back again therefore they understood and there were Kodesh that this is a light is going to continue coming back and therefore they decided is that's going to be a holiday because holiday in Hebrew comes from the word hot hob comes from the word in Hebrew hope to go around in a circle the words in Hebrew have a meaning and therefore we understand that the word holidays because something happens in a certain day of the year then it goes in the cycle of the year and it comes back to the same point in on the same day on the calendar happens the exact same action this is called the payola a certain action that repeats itself therefore is called a hug because it goes in a circle now every holiday that we celebrate we don't only celebrate to commemorate something that happened in the past rather we celebrate the part that this godly revelation repeats itself and comes back again now each godly revelation each hug each holiday has a total different hair I look at a different godly revelation that I can derive something out of it for example on Pesach pencil has a biblical holiday most of the holidays a biblical besides poor women Hanukkah porn or Hanukkah the only holidays that our sages decided on them but in the Torah it says that we have to celebrate the holiday of Pesach because we left Egypt and we broke out of slavery but really what happens on pizza is a spear very special godly light comes down to the world that permeates a certain power in the world that any person can break out of their limitation and go into freedom the word Egypt in Hebrew is my time which comes from the word mates Al Egypt is not necessarily the country rather it was the State of Mind where the Jews were at that time that they were in a state of a limitation mates Allah is the limit something that limits me and they were able on that day to go out of their limitation into spiritual freedom later on our sages quote and they said Behold overdog I have a damn leo that smoked here at summer meat rhyme every generation a person has to see himself like as if he left Egypt so it means that every person needs to sin himself that wait a minute I was like in the generation that left Egypt but comes the ballot Tania and he says no a person has to see himself every day like as if he left Egypt why because every day I'm in some level of limitation and I have to go out of my limit and the next day I have to be in a higher level than what I was the day before and if I'm not every day ascending to another level and I'm going out of my limitation then I'm standing in one place and we are called as human beings were called mahalo something that walks so every day I have to go meet hi little hide from one level to another and every day I have to see what's the limit in my life what's limiting me so I can break out of it and move to a higher level and the power that allows me to do that is by observing seven days of the holiday of Pesa because this godly light that shines in the world if I tap into it it allows me to have the power to do that all I need to do is not to work eat my thoughts not eat some eggs follow all the rules and that's it I'm hooked in so every holiday has a special power Hanukkah has a very very special power that since it's not a biblical holiday it's something that came as an addition so we know there were a few miracles one of the miracles was that they won the war now a lot of people think the war was too two or three weeks the war was 20 years a little bit over 20 years it was like the israeli-palestinian conflict backwards and forth and peace process and negotiation and terror attacks and I'm joking of course but it was 20 years that was constantly battles at some point somebody lost it and he's like that's it I'm making an end to it that was Matityahu the son of the corning at all and he took a bunch of men with him and they went out to war and they were able to win to three people against thousands of people and it was a miracle but the miracle actually happened the day before Hanukkah which is hospitality of Hanukkah but the miracle will see that we commemorating it on cafe Honoka so that was one of many miracles now the miracle was of course that the famous picture of oil sustained for eight days which is a very big question why why is everybody saying that the miracles were eight days the miracles was seven days because the first day was not a miracle it would like anyways so it's basically only seven nights of a miracle not eight nights of a miracle it lived for eight nights but the first night you can can take consider that a miracle it would lead anyways so we really we only had seven nights of a miracle but they took this miracle and of course they they added that to the to the whole holiday amazingly you see like I said before nothing nothing in the Jewish words in the Hebrew words is invented honoka comes from the word if you break it in half I know coop cafe parked on oyster Park and cafe was the day of the month so they stopped the war on the 42 24th of the month and on the 25th on cafe that's it there was no more war so they said ha no they parked so Honoka got the word from her no cafe Honoka another thing was that at the time they finished inaugurating the the Misbah the altar and they did a ceremony there all the presidents of all the tribes they brought a sacrifice and that's called Honoka Thomas Bell now even though they only started lighting the Mitzvah of half a year later but that's when they actually did the celebrating and it was exactly at the same time but I really want to know mainly what does that got to do with me if you want to see more of the history and more interesting details though last two weeks we had a lot of classes here and we had a lot of interesting insights about the holiday but I want to know why our sages say that for half an hour I have to sit next to the candles and enjoy the candles and exactly how we sang before elenova shoot least Amish man we don't have a permission to use them for any for any cause and all other people ask about the song that we sang so just in a very short explanation this song was compiled by the students by the disciples and the and the followers of the team acidic the same aesthetic is the grandson of the ballot Anya the alter rebbe is the third Rebbe in the dynasty of Chabad Lubavitch he was known to be a very great Siddiq and towards the end of his life he would not come out a lot he would be sitting in his room and his Hasidim his followers they wanted to see more of him so they made up a very long song so he would have to say next to them very long now we did today the short version but when they sung it they went for 45 minutes so he had no option but to sit with them for 45 minutes hearing to the song and then he had to sit with him and they were able to see the Rebbe so a lot of people asked for it originated from where it is where does it come from each one has their own customs each one there has their own ways how to do things but this is a very special song it's very special niggling that we sing but I want to know mainly what happens right now and half an hour that according to the oral law according to all AHA I have to sit next to the candles and have to derive something out of the scandals now to go back in history five thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven years ago God created the world and the first Basuki in the Torah it says Bereshit bara elokim at the shaman metallics first a sham created the heavens and the earth now for the ones of you who were here on Thursday we started learning Zohar we're gonna have a said deal that every Thursday were gonna start learning soil in English maybe we'll add that two more times but this Thursday we had our first time that we did a very short introduction and I mentioned that Robbie Shimon bar Yohai was the author of the song is called boots inna the khadisha the the holy candle because he likes the entire world with the light of this teachings of the soil and I was explaining how the be Shimon is such a special neshama that he's able to light all the neshamah all the levels we talked about this is 125 leveled for all the souls and we explained in very short that fact at 125 is because there's 5 times 5 times 5 I get 225 because each level of our neshama has 3 levels for example the lowest level of our neshama called nefesh so we have nefesh tuna fish tuna fish then we have nefesh then average they walk unofficially walk the walk and we're gonna get into it in the classes of the zone a fisherman is holding all 125 levels and that's a beautiful hint that we've seen the torah be shimon is the candle of the torah is that in the words Bereshit bara the world was just created Bereshit bara has the name Bishamon if you're looking at the word build a sheet and break it out is rush v8 rush because we say barely sheets in the beginning baba baba is created ma ba it's rush v in the letters of the sheet and then bara also goes on a la salle Abby Lozano same letters so right from the world was created in better sheet sham already created the the vessel and the channel through this light is going to come from but how did the Shem created the world the second verse of the Torah says validate the tovo and the land was completely a mess upside down the Hosier heart native home and it was completely darkness here it's hinting about the four exiles that we're going to have Tovah ho ho chef enter home these are the four exiles we have a beautiful class that within her last year go look at it online it's called the war on Greece why Greece where did the word come from because the world is the oven and it's a beautiful beautiful class so in this verse it's talking about the for exile then it's talking about Anna shame said the famous verse by here and it should be alike and then it continues and says via a shame Quito a shame saw that the light is very very good and then a shame concealed disliked he took away this light this light is called organiz the hidden light the concealed light this light was shining in the world for three days before sham created the Sun people think that the light that we see in the world is was what was created in the beginning the famous quote of ie oh the Sun was created on the fourth day and that's the light that we see but for three days this light was shining now for three days the Torah says very Arab way ibaka meaning that the day half the day's light half the day's darkness so if I take half a day that's twelve hours if I hadn't know that it was shining for three days then I have 36 hours that this light was shining then a sham concealed its lights and he says that this flag will be concealed the big level for the future when the Messiah is going to come the slide is going to be revealed again and as it says that it will be coming in the future will shine for the tsadikim after after that an Arab Shabbat when a demolition was created the slag was given to him so that's how he was able to see the world we know that Adama was shown was able to see godliness everywhere that way that's why he was able to name the animals he was able to name everything because he saw the godly power that enlivens everything but then that light was removed we have a few specious times in the year that that light shines just a little bit main time is in the holiday of Shavuot shines a little bit on the whole on the festivals a little bit before Shabbat ornate of Shabbat when it was given to the amélie shown but then it comes down to the world for another thirty thirty six hours on Hanukkah that's why we light exactly 36 candles the first night we light one candle the second night would like two candles and so forth there is a contradiction as a mahaki Tinicum aha maybe we should like one candle every day some said we should light it can was the whole day there was different opinions but the opinion that we go by and that's what we decided that we light one candle on the first day two candles on the second day and we go as the day's proceeded and left total 36 candles corresponding to the 36 hours that this Omega news was shining in shishi Jame Bereshit from that we also see we know that every generation has 36 Santa Kim that are hidden that are concealed like this olga knows another hint that we see there are 36 Mossad tractates in the oral torah then we learn from but i know that during the time when the light is shining I have an in that I can tap in to receive something from this organiz this hidden light so first of all most important what I need to do is anything and anytime that a special light is going to shine right away will come the opposition the powers of impurity and will try to take it this is what's called in the terminology of Kabbalah he's not talking so named because I'm holding the holy light right away the spiritual robbers will come to take possession over it so we read a CERN chapter in Tehillim and this is brought down by the result in the Sedo of that is are in the book of the shava cover notes there we have to read the chapter 91 of Tehillim and we read it seven times but we have to read before that the last pursue of chapter 7 894 the ones of you who Darwin by the Gnostic of theory and many other notes of him on Malaysia but we also say that between Shmona astray and Alan Russia where we say where he no I'm ashamed ok no and after that your service eternally on why because this capital of telling when you add the venom in front of that it has the power to make sure that if it's or name that the external part of holiness cannot possess this power that's why you notice that we read this a chapter of de lame whenever the soul leaves the body so we leave read it at night before we say QH Madhumita we read it when somebody dies royally know every time that there's a plan up an option for the soul to come out of the body we read this chapter just go by the actual words in the chapter you actually will understand the meaning behind it when we read it but it's extremely important we can do it after the show is that you read first the last line of chapter 19 which is very nominal oh hey no Elena Marciano conan alla Norma Sadie no Conan mo and then we add chapter 1991 the entire chapter you're cheb asserted alone and I do that seven times I repeat that seven times after that I read Anna be hawk yattaman ha I read that seven times and after that I read that mismo I'm not Sabine be not the mature it's the the mismo of the Manoa it's 67 summer summer sign and then you read one time that first of all allows that the godly light that is shining is not going to be taken away from me but just by reading that that in itself will take you 20 to 20 minutes 30 minutes that's according to that lease now that's what one has to do while he's sitting next to the camel is and and read that because why because - Shama my soul sees this organiz that's why we're supposed to look at the candle we have to look in the candle and if you notice the light of the candle is different than their candle of Shabbat about the candles they dance they move these candles are frozen they're standing still they're not moving just by looking at the candles you neshama is deriving this godly revelation but I don't want this godly revelation to be taken away from me so I read exactly what I just told you brought down without result it doesn't take a long time you should definitely do it and you should repeat it again seven times and the reason why we repeated seven times corresponding to the seven minutes that we have and corresponding also to the seven cohort nefesh the powers of our nephesh but I want to read that seven times then Arabic or seven times and then one time is more and I'm not sitting on my chair maybe not miss walkshare which is chapter 67 but with that we're going to make this week there's a - M Sunday Tuesday and Thursday we have classes here we're gonna have beautiful classes every day about Hanukkah with different meanings I want to go through many many reasons why we're doing all these little rituals and all the little things that we do but mainly I want to concentrate on a few things that I got to do during the time than the Chanukah candles are lighting the first one is what I just told you and it's extremely important to take it serious not to just say okay nice recommendation and to move on I have now it's almost like me now getting 150 million dollars in cash and I'm going out to the streets without bodyguards so that money is gonna be right away taking away from me I'm gonna be robbed on the spot so I have to come hire bodyguards so I'm now given the lights a glimpse of this avocados this shine this light is charging my soul for the rest of the year to have one very basic thing that we need to have in order to serve a shammy and this is called missing both nefesh so what nefesh is self-sacrifice now a hundred years ago the soap sacrifice that the Jews were required to have if they were tortured and they were killed and they would be thrown into fires and thrown out of buildings and a shimmer of Fame would they what the Jews had to go through 70 years ago 80 years ago 100 years ago 500 years ago their self-sacrifice was totally different than ours they would risk their life people would risk their life literally - like Hanukkah candles and some would get murdered because they lit Chanukah candles or did a Brit Milah or meter maid a McVeigh or anything so their level of mystical nephesh was not what we have to do we are not required in such mercy with nephesh but for us every action that we do is missile defense for me to get up in the morning and to go and pray no minions it's missile with nefesh because what's really missing would nefesh what's self-sacrifice is that I'm able to enjoy something right now for myself and I'm giving it up I can now enjoy some of my money and buy myself something nice or treat myself to a beautiful meal and say no I'm taking this money down and I'm giving it to somebody poor that doesn't have money better him enjoying this right now I'm taking something that I would derive pleasure from and this is one example out of many you see what nefesh can mean any little thing that I don't think of myself that I think of what somebody else will derive out of it a benefit or a pleasure and in a higher level world of shame once mr. hood nefesh is for me also deciding to do something that I don't want to do but I know that's the will of the calash go home so we are required to do that mr. vennett wish that's self-sacrifice and every day of our life we're constantly battling this mis'able nephesh because everything that I do has to be with the self-sacrifice and I don't want to give too many examples but you already figure out by yourself whatever you can derive a certain pleasure for yourself and you're saying no I'm giving up this pleasure now it might sound like a very weird practice okay I'm giving up my pleasure it's not necessarily of giving up my what I would enjoy from it is the fact that I'm able to subdue my own self Ness and my own inclination and desire to do something and I'm able to control myself self control this is called in the terminology of the soul it Coffea it Caffey means to subdue that I want something now but I hold myself and if I do that and then the action what it does it's called it Coffea it says sorry it's called it haka it have come in to transform it says it hahaha Shaha Lenova transforming the darkness into light so by me holding myself are not doing something that I really want the action that I actually do is they break a certain husk I break a stern clipper and I'm able to remove from that the God realized that it's in it and elevated to holiness this is the motion of self-sacrifice and this can come in many different things now in most cases I don't want to do that I wake up in the morning okay I don't feel like waking up right now I'd rather sleep another hour I'll dive in later at home I'll do it in the afternoon I'm not gonna do it at all I'll do this tomorrow and if we keep fighting this all the time but what allows me to do this Missy would nefesh for the entire year is by deriving core deriving this power from the candles of Hanukkah to be able to service them in civil nephesh to serve Hashem with no conditions my entire of a lot of shame is different now what I'm deriving out of these lights we're going to do a class every day because every day each candle has a certain power that is that explains that that every day we have to meditate on one of them adults the attributes of mercy of the Kadosh boho and tonight is what we would be meditating on is the middle that is called Kaler because when we read the thirteen attributes of mercy we say a shame a shame now we don't meditate on you'd give up give up okay then we say kill Alif LAAM it and then tomorrow our home then the next day are known and so forth every day we have to meditate when we lighting the candles on that attribute and that allows me also to refine this attribute in me but canook has a very special power one very special thing is that a lot of people don't know is that we think that our main atonement comes on Yom Kippur but really our sages teach us that the end of the Kabbalah is on Hanukkah not only on people some people know that it's hornish on Aruba that's when we finish our atonement but really the main Khepera finishes it the last night of Hanukkah which means the tonic has almost the same power of yom kippur it's a very auspicious time to do Chava for what I think or I feel that I didn't finish during the month of Tishrei and Hanukkah has many different other powers we're going to go through some of them one thing that I want to mention is that Hanukkah the eighth haruka has a very powerful time to get a half upon herself for livelihoods and another few things and again I don't want to stop on that too much but for the ones that know anyone who cannot get pregnant then the last day of Hanukkah is a very very auspicious time to meditate on that day and that's a very powerful day for a woman to get pregnant and of course if the husband and wife or it's the time for them to be together it's a very auspicious time but these all these things we're going to go through them during the classes we're going to have in the following week now I mainly want to concentrate on the fact that I need to preserve this unbelievable power of Hanukkah and I have to understand what does it mean why do I have to especially half an hour it's this half and now that I'm concentrating and deriving energy and power out of this lights out of this Chanukah candles we went through this in the last week about all the laws but it's extremely important that you learn the laws when you light the Hanukkah candle how you light it when it's a good time to do it where you position the conocchia all these things this is the the Black Friday of the year in the spiritual term and we know that in the future after mushiya comes very soon all the holiday trees are going to be cancelled and there's some as a certain part all the Mitzvahed are gonna be canceled but chronic and poem are always going to remain Chanukah informal the only holidays that we will still celebrate after mushiya comes there's a little bit of contradiction exactly when this is going to happen it's gonna happen right with my chef Cowan's it's gonna happen after the resurrection of the dead it's gonna happen after all I'm about we don't know exactly there's different opinions but we do know that all the holidays will be canceled all the mitzvot will be canceled and what we're going to be remaining with is the holiday of Hanukkah and all of their program we're still going to be celebrating it which just in itself gives you enough information to understand what a power Hanukkah is now I want to just mention one thing that I read today which is extremely interesting that I want to share with you now we know that a shim has 72 holy names and each name has a special power some of you maybe have seen one of the classes that I did and I repeat it a lot because a lot of people come and tell me I have a very close relative or a friend or a son or a mother or whatever that they're they're not religious they're not observant and what can I do to affect them they don't want to do anything so of course the the best advice is that you know every person has to do their own Shuba you can oppose to somebody to do too I can force somebody to do something they have to do it by themselves if every person has to find his path to the cannot ever go by himself you can you can assist you can help you can guide them but you cannot push somebody to do a mitzvah don't even try because the reaction is going to be complete opposites but there's a special powerful prayer what one can do is that every end of Shabbat end of Shabbat means the Friday evening we pray a stern prayer that's it's called kabocha but accepting the Shabbat and we read two chapters of Tehillim that are are in all congregations in all the know saw him as a Maris family Ashkenazi all I saw in all the see the way we we read these two chapters and in these two chapters there's one pass oak that has in it three words that are the acronym of one over shins holy names and that name is Cole is you'd la me dude the letter yud and the letter la montaña letter use this name of Hashem is known to be the name of life wa the name of health and salvation now you can find this show online and I want to repeat this entire Co but when a person is meditating on that name during Kabbalat Shabbat these two verses that we read one of them is in in chapter 29 of his molé of the epithelium and at the end we shame Rama bulychov it's the second to the last verse when you say a shame I'm a bullish of course it's a shame is not Hashem if you look the acronym is ulama dude and when you're reading that you can meditate on the soul of the person that you want that needs revoir this is not only a spiritual level so a physical lacroix then after that we sing la da ding after that we sing and we say another chapter of de leme and after that we say another one is that it ends with Hashem level you mean again the ulama dude so again if you're interested in finding the show its own Idol as your own later but I give this short introduction is because there's another special name of the Kadosh go ho and that that name is the letters tough Catherine hey we don't pronounce the names it's just the letters tough cough hey now I read something interesting today that we have a very special verse that we read in many times that we says call Hanna Shama say hallelujah hallelujah okay that's the verse that we reread now if we take this three words : - Amati Hallel that yet you take the first letter of each word it gives you the acronym of tough cough hey that the numerical value of cough cough hey is Hanukkah and pulling the Hanukkah and Purim has the power to overpower our enemies this is the holy name that mashallah Ben who used to kill the Egyptian he didn't kill him with a fist he didn't have a gun he said a holy name and boomed by the guy guys and this is the name that Michelle had been used he just said the name and the Egyptian if you know the story that there were two guys fighting and ashame and Moshe could not understand why they fighting and anyways go back to the story and you'll see it but this is the name that Michelle Rubino used this is the name that gives us the power to fight our enemies that's why we know now how name were able to win the war didn't use swords there weren't martial artists they just said holy names honey favela when one can throw a thousand people away all you have to say is a few holy names so the name that they use is this tough Coffey which is the acronym of coal and schemata Halil you've took the first letter of the of the rich word which is the numerical value of Hanukkah and Purim and then Fermi refinery even another it's something even more interesting this is called brought down from a book of cover Kabbalah has called all all Yesha and he says that from Oceania till Hanukkah there's a special godly revelation and the hint to that he goes by the first route on the Torah which is Bereshit Noah let leha if you take this off ayaats the last letters of these three words which is tough right and half we get again this holy name right and this is the then they actually the name that brings us our substance our partner Sam and he gives another hints that the first three months from Oceania till Hanukkah is - refresh van Kislev and the beginning of these words are tough right and cuff so we see from that the tanaka is also the power of if a person meditates on it or parmesan for sustenance so we already have two things that we can meditate on while we lighting the candles is that a constantly I have somebody that's battling me whether it's a lawsuit whether it's a neighbor that it's fighting me whether it's whatever it is we'll have somebody who's battling us and so much more so we have the it's Allah that's constantly battling us so you can go go down to such a depths to see what power I can actually take from this holiday of Hanukkah Kamel him Chivato rocks Amaya Sheena CIB - ha ha the shame gun with him so more than that I fight all the time with our with my etc when I was a little kid and I grew up here in Israel so we had a song and we sang barnico like a wish we came to push the darkness via dinner over ish in our hands his lights and fire call it hard - old cotton each one is a small light' my quran oh oh wait on and all of us together is a big big light so I used to sing that when I was 3 when I was 4 when I was 5 that was my favorite song I mean Honoka was how many doughnuts I can push into my mouth in one shot and which song I can get a sing and how much money I'm getting from the Hanukkah gelt but amazingly if you look at this song this lies in here all old what we need to know Varna wash up like a rash we came here to push the little the darkness and in our hand is fire and light so the fire that I'm holding that's my candle I'm holding fire but I'm holding right I am a Lamplighter I can light the entire world now it says colocar duo cotton each one of us is a very small light but if we unite then we become a massive lights now I mentioned before that the four exams were hinted in the second verse of the Torah tovo Bosch Ascenta home our exiled is called Xhosa this is the Exile of Greece of your of Yavin and this is compared to Xhosa to darkness this is what we're actually dealing with our exile right now is darkness we cannot see godliness we cannot see anything positive it's very hard to see the good in everything the scotia this darkness is concealing any positive and good thing in this world but it's our responsibility to push away this darkness so how do we push it we can only push it with light now on Konica the way to derive this light is with my candle with my uh with my fire but I can only push this darkness the darkness of the eggs oh is with my fire with my light and if I want to do it myself then it's gonna be a big challenge but if I unite with everybody then we become a massive light and this is the main message behind konoka is that we see that we put one candle then we put another candle then we put another candle there's a question in a lahar if I have to say abre for each candle because each can know the different mitzvot technically and should I say Abraha everyday or should I say raha on the first day there's all sorts of disagreements and arguments how the candle should be so I said you said no you say everyday abraha and you say one on all the candles but you say everyday cuz every day it's a new action it's a new miracle because every day was a miracle so every day I have to say a single graha but you see that the nature of the candles if they were constantly adding more and we're adding more and we're adding more the point to take from konoka is that I have an auspicious time to derive this unbelievable godly light this glimpse of this alga knows then will benefit me but mainly if I take this light and we all share it together and we all unite with no conditions seeing that we're all equal and that's how we were able to push away this darkness like darkness of the Exile what I need to meditate in to derive from the holiday of konoka is a roll the same row equal will shine the same way and we're all in the same example and unfortunately not generation and I can only say about our generation may be knowledgeable generations do but in our generations unfortunately we're all separated this guy belongs to that group and this guy's this group and if he's in that group then my group is better and my rabbis must starter than you're a rabbi and you look like this and you dressed like that and you pronounce the word like this and we're all separated so we all night I like my show you right in your show you right in your show but we don't write together and the point is that you take a child child a children song you can see what hokhmah what wisdom behind it that each one of us is a small light but if we all unite together we'll become a massive lights and each and every one of us has to light in their own way because each and every one of us is unique is a unique light like our sages says - MSHA pursue for him showing him the same way that their faces are different Cadell - emtional that's why also their opinions are different but it doesn't mean that we separated we can stay different and I have to respect everybody else's individuality how they want to dress how they want to pray how they want to read the recordings of course if it's long as it's going in the path of the Torah and there's no inventions then each one does it according to their way how they know and together we have the power to repel this darkness the darkness of the exile and real Italy in the doorsteps of mushiya Hanukkah is the most auspicious time for us to unite to bring the revelation of Allah HaMashiach it says and Michelle's gonna come he's gonna be bringing and reveal the organ or how he this is the most auspicious time of the year to bring it's a necklace own to bring the girl to bring the redemption that's why we see that a lot of miracles happen on Hanukkah it's a headlight that it's a Hanukkah it's a holiday that we commemorated with light Meza who eat Masuka we build a Sukkah every one of the holidays we commemorate with something Hanukkah with light because all about lighting and shining in the world and somebody asked me not too long ago why did we play with dreidels so of course there's many explanations but I found one a very interesting explanation because on the two holidays that were set by our sages Hanukkah and Poland we play with her with a funny toy Hanukkah we play with a dreidel and Poland we play we play with a grogger if you're looking at the motion they're both turning around but Hanukkah we grab the dreidel from above and we turn it and pull him we grab the grogger from below and return unto Him the action what brought the miracle was the self-sacrifice of the Jews they fasted they learned they did sugar they did so the action was what was called Milly Mattel Amala they did something from below and it affected the above so the grogger returned holding it below but on Hanukkah when don't know what we didn't do nothing it's a shame that came from above and he did the miracle after it revamp done by Deena you did it we didn't do anything look at how the the no stuck what we prank we don't say it if you look at the nostril to see programming and Canoga is different Honoka Shem did everything for us so he came from above lambs aha the revelation came from about that's why we hold it said he won't from above the concept of turning we spoke about it in the class we had about Kislev how the stomach of the key slave derives from the also wave number from the surrounding light two types of light how they shine in the world also very what called OMA keifa surrounding light that is equal for everything that we don't have any any graph to it but there's also opening me an inner light this is different to each creature so there also they have this is what comes down and key slave we had a whole talk about key slave so this is the concept of the turning that's why you see that you know you've seen Hasidic circles when they dance they dance in circles they don't dance like you know they dance in circles why there's a there's a concept of going in a circle this is basically bringing down bringing that is some Shahada slight of this also wave and the Harlem there had the holiday of Hanukkah fell on Kislev that inky slave there's already a hint that if you break the word of Kislev in half and the first two letters is calf in summer it's cos cos is a cover comes from the word key sweet something that is covered and left la made love goes again to this 36 hours that the light was shining of the organiz in the 36 hours in the beginning of creation the three days and then the light was concealed it was covered and in kislev I have the power to remove this cover to reveal this godly revelation to reveal this alga news that's what we have to meditate on that's what we have to concentrate on I have the power of removing the concealment what is bringing this darkness of the Exile to this world by bringing this light to the world by accepting every around me Jews non-jews everybody's alike role equal Shem loves us all the best the same way and by me making space for everybody around me I'm basically taking all these lights and putting them together and if you take now a lot of candles and you put them together it becomes this very big light we actually see them Hanukkah we're not allowed to put the candles close to each other because each candle is individual because each candle is corresponding to one of the 36 hours we're not allowed to put them together this is actually brought down innallaha that the candles have to be separated from each other and they can be close to each other that they like well constitutional not touch each other and if now the candles will touch each other and it becomes one light it makes the Hanukkah episode but for us it's totally different for us is to take all these flames and put them together and create this massive massive right the Masada Jam we should concentrate and meditate on these 36 hours and the 36 candles what we can do it's eight days of an auspicious time that we can tap into this unbelievable time unbelievable God we like to shine - Shama shine my body to go out of my way to be able to unite as many as people as possible and with that be met like the song of the children says bono Hochelaga - we came to to push the darkness we will push the darkness Masada sham we still can light another seven candles in Potomac - we're late already one tonight okay we still have another seven candles we can lighten bitumen - some Assad regime we should marry to see the lighting of the menorah but to me that's very soon and it should be happen and be and and and should come hey faster with our actions miserable shame we're going to have your classes tomorrow true then Thursday you can join us classes are in the morning they're in English and for women for ladies 10:00 to 1:00 there's different classes we're going to talk a lot about speak about Hanukkah we're

special eight days this is literally the spiritual Black Friday of the year and I can literally derive the most to my soul and elevate myself to such a high level to be able to receive this all the
