Chanukah as Preparation for Moshiach

okay welcome thursday night challenge it's called trolling because we eat real tall i finished my tone you're continuing to eat yours uh till we run out there's more challenge if anyone's coming it's strong because we learned something different completely different every week the cover chanukah i'm going to learn from the uh yes oscar from melech medinav who was a talmud of the crazer the crazy used to call him because he had a special islamist a special passion for hanukkah and khaiza told him that it's because he's a gilgal from the base kashminoi so he has a connection to the historical uh the tasmanians the maccabees and that's why he gets excited for hanukkah although he he called this safer banaya sasuke because he uh was or the frieza told him he was from shavit you saw her so i guess i thought the guild goal was i'm not exactly sure how it uh works maybe you know some moon catchers out there who are more munka comes from from dinov they could explain exactly how it works but anyway so hanukkah you got to learn vinaya sasuka i mean is always good but especially for hanukkah so i picked this mimer mymercas where he's speaking about uh the reikiac is writing about kanika there is one of the ashkenaz was a lazar from vermeizer or worms they call it worms which is the famous city where rashi is from russia's a couple generations after uh rebel azer of veramizer and he called this safer which means a perfume maker uh because it's the gematria of his name anyways and he's a like a medieval kabbalist one of the few ashkenazic kabbalists of that time because at that time mostly you have a lot of kabbalah coming from the safari then from spain but uh he was one of the ashkenaz like uh his talmud actually okay at any rate so the vinaya saskar says here the wilkins the victory over the greeks they established that it should be celebrated by um lighting 36 candles what is what is 36 again who has a minority with 36 candles well either 1 plus 2 plus 3 plus 4 plus 5 plus six plus seven plus eight you get thirty yeah yeah you get thirty six ah i didn't write i didn't write it down but you get thirty six why do the boxes all sell uh forty five strong yeah but if you have the minig for the the beeswax then you always have the extra i haven't i didn't figure out the math yet that's him yet how many boxes of the oil do you need if you have if you use the beeswax the the shiva shamish okay anyways the why is it 45 should be 44. they do sell 44. that's a good thing because that would work out numerically mathematically okay i all i know is every year i always have extra and then out of hanukkah we don't have them anymore i don't know where they go there's gremlins who steal the extra hanukkah oils okay anyway so they set up the 36 candles 36 candles what can i do corresponding to the 36 hours that adam harishan used the original light the harish in the harishan hashem said that's the first day of creation let there be light well what light is that that talking about the light of the sun because that's on day four when the sun and the moon were created it's a special ayur haganos another says a light that was hidden away it was too powerful and uh at any rate so other mauritian had access to that light for 36 hours different madroshim have different uh opinions of how it actually worked as far as when the first sunset was for other mauritian but uh at least according to the the madness that this is based on uh so adam was created midday on on friday and and the sixth day of creation but apparently um i mean there's different there's different explanations but according to the the explanation this is based on the sun didn't go down on shabbos it only went down matsushabus so he had 12 hours of of uh light on head of shabbos because he was created in the middle of arashabas and then he had for 24 hours of shabbos and then the sun went down after shabbos was over and he made half dollars i think flintstones not the jetsons the flintstones so um yeah so that's 36 hours 12 and 24 36 you check the math later okay our accounting firm will get back to us let us know anyways kamehameha and hashem saw that the light was good light was good so on that test of the word plaiv which means good yes dalid tagging there are four calligraphic crowns you know the calligraphy the toggin on top of the letters normally we don't really um learn those learned meaning from them although it says rabbi akiva was able to he was able to extract tile tilin legal ramifications based on the calligraphy and the crowns but uh the that says that the four crowns on top of the test so you get the test is nine right the test itself is nine times the four crowns nine times four boom again you got 36. tess to show you for this four times nine hainu remis which hints to the 36 candles of hanukkah einstein in other words and as the banaya sasuke is going to explain the candles of hanukkah are our glimpse into the oi rishi in the oil hagonas the light that hasn't been around since uh since the end of the first shabbos but every year on hanukkah we come on in we get access back to that original light okay so he says and you see my friend the words of this holy angel talk madrika all of his words were received from eliyah navi how did he get how did the keach know these things he got it from eliyahu ashkenaz a lot of new things that um you might say we don't have a messiah for it i mean the whole of you are innovations so where did they get it from okay one way gilluelio they had elijah the prophet told them things armor shahadas hamitz the light of the chanukah menera is the light the original light that was too precious and it was hidden away after the first shabbos bismarck so the light that was lighting after the first military victory that was lighting miraculously removed is a symbol for the illumination the enlightenment of toyota wisdom which is alluded to by the idea of har reitz if you want to get wise point southward and the minora is in the south when we darven and davis minas we dive in towards yurushalai which generally where we live is is east but uh there are permutations there you know a little like uh like compass you have the what they call the not the cardinal directions but like the so uh if you do if you do east let's say you're diving from here and you die down the east and you but you do a little a little uh north type of orientation uh actually that itself is east and that's north so you do like uh like that you know so then you then you get you'll get rich because you're david the the the the shulhan in the bassaming dish was in that was in the soften was in the north shokhan is the symbol of sustenance the table the parnosa the sustenance is on the table so that's that's to get rich but if you want to get wise so you point a little to the south because the minotaur was in the south and the miner is light which represents spiritual enlightenment which is kokomo satya okay in kane that's based on the motherboard it says like this this miraculous light that was shining during those days they didn't have enough oil to to burn all that time it wasn't regular light it was miraculous like where did the miraculous light come from it was pulled from the original aragon as the hidden away light the cave in shenig maladairis he prophetically or they the prophetically knew that every year that there would be access at this time again there would be access to this hagonus so that's basically why the menorah was it's not just a a zaiker just a commemoration it's actually it's a tool the minority is technology by where by which we tap into um the availability the rare once a year not once one day a year but eight days a year availability of this of this ira gunners which is otherwise um something that we can't physically see al kane karoli yamimo and that is why they call the yumt of hanukkah now there's many different explanations why hanukkah has called hanukkah the most simple explanation because hanukkah means inauguration comes chanukah they had to re-inaugurate the altar after was desecrated um but here he says something really amazing what is hanukkah the hergel al it is a training to prepare you to get you ready for the messianic future when the hidden light will once again be completely revealed so basically what's chanukah hanukkah is training let's get ready for mashiach because soon the sheikh is going to come and the aragon is going to be revealed all the time so you don't want to suddenly get hit by this oreganos and have no experience with it whatsoever so hanukkah is our eight day a year training you know like national guard what do they do once a year they have to go well how does it work you know yeah the reserves what do they do one week a year or something like that and we'll find out okay so anyways this hanukkah is like the eight day here training to make sure that you have some practice you have some practical experience with the oreganos kamehameha like uh the sages say in the morning the godzilla sadiq where's the aragandas now well it was put away for the future for the tzadikim in the future what does it mean like it says that it's not going to be sun and moon that are going to illuminate for you but hashem is going to illuminate for you what does that mean it means the hashem's light that was hidden away and we're going to all be able to see by that light when is that going to happen when we finish the present the current exile which is the exile of the fourth kingdom the kingdom of rome. but when the the third kingdom which was greece greece was the third kingdom rome was the fourth kingdom rome continues so at the end of the third kingdom yavan greece however hashem gave us a little peek a little taste of that light why he says to offset or to counterbalance the fact that when did hanukkah take place it took place in the post-prophetic era took place in the post-prophetic era after the final nivea the last uh navi in in malachi and uh hanukkah's after that's why hanukkah is not in nach form is in uh it's in a time of esther was a was a prophetess daniel's uh even yeah he's uh also a prophet you know the gomorrah in mcgillis speaks about how do we know that he was a prophet but chanukah took place in the post-prophetic era there was no more prophecy so to counterbalance that the fact that there was no more prophecy hashem said you know what i'll give them a little hagonas i'll give them a little shine of that light and that was the light that was was shining on the menada for those miraculous days that that light should stand instead for us of the navoor that we lost that will have that as a replacement during our uh exile of the we know that other mauritian how did he use the oreganos with the oreganos he was there you could you could see very clearly with the oreganos other mauritian was able to stare from one side of the world to the other he knew everything that was going on in the entire world does that mean physically or does it mean consciousness either way what it means is that with this light you can know everything in the world so a prophet was able to know what's going on was able to have vision to see what's going on then that stopped you didn't have that okay so we have a little bit once a year we have a taste of that light again okay now let's continue here alke nikra ner hanukkah that's why it's called ner hanukkah near the hergola she is the it's called an air hanukkah call it a training candle a practice candle an educational candle it near hanukkah means a candle that is you that trains you for getting used to having access to the light of redemption that's going to be revealed in the future nematobe you hear of which it says says about this light on the first day of creation let there be light vise that's what it means hashem's going to be your light i know a shame havayah it's talking about the name yod kevov hashem's that when you spell out come on in when you spell out the name hawaiian you'd keep okay but you spell each letter as a word so you spell the letter yud as yud vav dalid and you spell hey well there's different ways of spelling hey you could spell it hey hey or hey aleph or hey good that's how you get the different million the different shame ice but there's a way of writing out the shema you get the gematria venignus but and where is that light it was hidden in the title so hanukkah is to get us used to that light volcano taita and that's why hanukkah is a special time for learning toyota because toyota is also a portal into that light alkane so somebody who gets himself used to that light he's actually preparing himself he's getting used to a cusp becoming accustomed to the light of uh of machia and that's why he's going to have like the gemara shabba says he's going to have bonam tamil because this oil which is hanukkah which is also the oil that everyone's going to see when mashiach comes is also the oil of torah explaining this my mother would i think maybe not in this moment explains the idea of kokum adif navi that uh maybe it's coming up there there's a few my modern in the in uh this section who speak about similar concepts but he says there's a concept of navi that is greater than a navi so uh you know the alternative speaks about it in uh in he gets uh kurdish he says how come um the the the arizona says that the voice maishirabano was from uh netzach and hoyde of atsilos but then darizal is writing about levels much higher than that even higher levels higher than atlas itself even you know levels pre-established so he says because the difference between the man navi sees he sees something it's shown to him you could only see a certain you could only you can only take a certain level of revelation um which is why the foreign hashem tells them i should have been you could you can you can't see my face you can only see my back whatever that means uh metaphorically but it means that when you're dealing with navoor there's a certain capacity and that's it you can't surpass that but if navi that with torah with terror you can see these things so toyota why is toyota the this clarity this ability to see literally not just from one at misaifa ila matsaifa from one end of the physical world to the other but all oil mice to see all of say their stousless and beyond and and above say this thousands because it's this special light which is other monavie it's greater than the light of nevu the light of tiger is greater than the light of new world isn't it like like a comprehension is a lower level of perception of something than seeing it so you could reach higher levels but it's not with the same amount of you're not exposed to the same extent as seen because it's more like hearing center type of exposure when you're studying something you can study it but not because you're getting the same amount of exposures if you're seeing it but since it's a lower level of exposure it could be exposed to higher levels meaning it's abstract right right so that's what allows you to see it yeah are you talking about what in the in the garage it's not real when you're understanding something not that you're seeing it right right because it because it's abstract it's not your physical well the navi's not physically seeing it either but it's compared it's compared to physical sight where like if you see something too bright it'll it'll be too much for you right precisely because he has ideas so he's able to go much more he's able to experience much more but uh yeah in okinawa it's related to this idea but that's what toyota is taita is there's not a picture book i mean maybe you like learn like i remember when i learned uh treyfuss for smith we had pictures of like different organs and stuff but there's not a picture book it's concepts i mean primarily it's it's it's abstract concepts but because it's abstraction it's ideas so you can you can understand things that are deeper than what you could you could look at or even visualize it's the same same same concept there same idea raf steins as always he said that somebody learns a gemata and he thinks that it's talking about a uh a a an axe or a donkey he's the ox everything you know even in gamoto when it's talking about an ox it's not talking about oxen it's talking about legal principles which are ideas which are abstractions so the fact that you're learning abstraction you're learning ideas not things not like like uh you're pointing at an object give me that piece of uh cake the fact that these are ideas so you are somewhat distanced from it which i guess presumably that allows us to appreciate things that are beyond our normal ability to to experience but it's the same thing as saying meaning that at the end of the day who knows more about the world the the the the talmud or the navi so who knows more about the world tamil okay he didn't really see it he only intellectually appreciated it okay but it's still he's the one who's actually understanding more about about the world okay let's keep going here um i [Music] yeah okay going back to the reikaya tiknullam of natives can negotiate right we said that he's repeating that idea that there were 36 hours of the origamis or before it became ghanas kaneget lush so are mentioned in 36 times so 36 candles of hanukkah are representative of that [Music] this is where he says it this is like what i wrote that where is the hidden light hidden in toyota choice yeah you want to figure out that math sawdust aleph or ella fla alef who can do the five times 36 is equal to five times oyer that's mentioned in the title anya marichen which is oh yes so you see how to do the math well five times two hundred seven thousand thirty five five times two hundred seven is two oh seven times five so five times two or seven one thousand thirty thousand is represented by the aleph right and then the 237 no i mean sorry and then 35 is alarmed hey so you got the thirty five aleph llamad hay and you get the 36. then we're back to the llama valve which is the 36 hours that autumn had access to the light which is the 36 candles that we light over the eight days of chanukah yeah everyone followed that i got that for about two seconds right that's the significance because in in the the first day of creation it mentions or five times that's why that gets the number five so it mentions all your five times so our light is alive which is 207. it's also going to have raz mystery because the balchemt have said anyone who knows um he knows the the the mysteries of the world so to all set let's do it again 207 or 207 mentioned five times on the first day of creation 5 times 207 1000 is represented by the letter olive 35 is llamad hay so you have aleph and llamad hey you have have again the llamadov the and that's the 36 hours and the 36 candles excellent appreciate the account the same wire that's in the title is the same iron that is the hanukkah minora which is the same order that they wish to let out at the end of march yoven during the time of the kashminoi which is the same error that all the mauritian had for 36 hours at the beginning of creation it's all the same order yeah uh yeah you also mentioned to say the cost of eicha dev echoed aleph how can one person pursue a thousand how can one pursue a thousand that's not normal such numbers so uh it's just that that's uh a year that aleph is representing that idea as well is also aleph lamed hey is also lamed nignez and this light was hidden in the tattoo so when the greeks wanted to tear us away from toyota and as we know they were opposed not to the study of toyota as a an academic discipline but the kedusha of toyota they wanted to tear us away from the katusha of tatum what were they trying to do they were trying to tear us away from the toyota which gives us access to the hidden light tine hashem hashem says hey you want to try to take us away from the toilet which gives us access to light i'm going to give you light i'm going to shine the light which was the nasa of the menira the shaman who ayura tatum in our artists which is also synonymous with the ire of taira which they wanted to tear us away from valken lamidvar palminger and that's why the words light and luminaries and candle are mentioned 36 times in tater okay antique and that's why we have 36 candles fortunate is the nation whose lot is such chicago light that they have this light is the possessive pronoun to him or fortune is nation as the nation to to whom is such so you could actually see it's a it's an actual light so then you have the marshall and the nimsho you have a physical embodiment of that light i want to mention to everybody by the way the importance of hanukkah gelt just mentioned something from the lab he learns the the the rambam mishna toyota says a little history short little history about the yvonne and paschal they set forth their hands against the wealth of the jewish people so the nebba asks what's with the poetry if they stole it say gandu you know say they stole it say they they vandalized they set forth their hand upon uh jewish possessions so uh that ever says like this you could probably uh explain it in a way similar to timothy that they defiled all of the the oil why did the greeks defile the oil there was no strategic reason to do that it was an ideological statement they hated the idea that you could have spiritual qualities attributed to physical things like if you take shaman tahoe and shementame and you send them to a lab i promise you'll never see the difference between them they're physically identical now you know talk about like koshers let's say okay that's food chemistry there's like real physicality to that you could tell the difference between something has uh you know uh milk and meat you could even if uh if you couldn't see it we sent it to a lab they could figure out shaman tommy you put it on the microscope you will never be able to say there's anything discernible about this uh that's different than the shaman taher so the greeks hated that we attributed spiritual qualities to physical things so when they came into the base of english they made a statement they said we're going to be metamed and leave it there and go ahead use it just like that just just like that you know like when you cut your kid's sandwich and they cried oh you caught it funny i don't want to eat it no no you're going to eat the sandwich just like this okay so you're going to use it just like that just like that um and the juice said no actually we're not we're not going to use it like that because there is such a thing as toma vetada and just because we're dealing with physical things doesn't mean that there's no sanctity and there's no spirituality and to the contrary everything has a nefish and a goof and a tsura and there is such a thing as shaman which is taher and shaman which is tommy so um yoda means the greeks just like with the oil they didn't steal it they didn't vandalize it not in this in the conventional sense like physically vandalizing this they they said here we're gonna be matama the shaman and then leave it for you to use it use it in an impure state because there's no reason why it should be any problem there's nothing wrong with using chem and tame so the same thing pashtu adam and made them they reached out their hand they set forth they touched the jewish wealth we gave it a greek touch in other words they were matama jewish wealth they didn't take it they didn't confiscate it they didn't vandalize it they said you keep it you keep it but just promise me one thing buy yourself something pretty don't try to use don't try to sanctify this this is money it's just material just keep it material go out and eat food and enjoy you know like buy a car but don't try to sanctify please you can't do that there's no such thing if it's physical it's physical that's it and and we said no no if it's physical it could also be spiritual we are the nation that brings oneness of hashem into audits into physicality in fact that is the oneness of hashem that for hashem the spiritual and the material are both creations and he wants to be present equally everywhere so how do we celebrate the fact that we sanctify the physicality and we insist that material things can and and must be holy by giving hanukkah gelt when we give money to kids we say here take this money and we make that into a mitzvah that is uh that's how we celebrate our freedom we won they tried to kill us wasn't hazako they tried to kill us what's the thing they fought us we won let's eat yeah exactly what how's it go they they tried to kill us they tried to kill us we won let's eat that's right okay
