afraid
this year is dedicated by the welder
family
you can use the light why the example of
you can't count money why specifically
the example of that you're not uh the
maratha you're not a b minor you can't
count keseth by the near hanaka
so the baneshkai offers that the gemara
is saying
that not only can you not use the
candles outright but to count money it's
you're not checking the money you
already know what the
amount of each bill is you just want to
count it so that you could basically do
in the dark you just need a little bit
of light even that you can count
perhaps we could suggest the following
as to why the gemara specifies
and emphasizes not to count money by the
near hanaka
the shellac others tells us parshio is
that an amazing transformation happened
between the time that
aesop's archangel
attacked yaakov and the hip socket and
the miracle of hanukkah in other words
when the angel of asav attacked yaakov
that's the exact antithesis of the
miracle of hanukkah in fact
the uh ryerson zonefeld points out
valiga
is purim so we see the angel of
asav was out to destroy chanukah in
purim but the kaf
that was dislocated by the angel of asav
was rectified through the miracle of the
pach shaman
says the shelah the yerech of yaakov was
elevated through the yerech of the
menorah
how so
the schleich writes the word kaf
and pach are the same letters
they're just switched but more than
switched it's the type of letter that's
used the word kaf
the cough is kaff is closed
the pay the the final pay is open
in the word park the pay is closed
and the final half is open
we have two parts of our body we have
the mouth we have the hand
the objective of the mouth is that it
should be closed the objective of the
hand is that should be open wide
in the times of
uh asav when asaf attacked yaakov avinu
this represented claudius in a low state
this represented the time when claude
israel wa would be in golos which was
precipitated by mahirasiya what caused
mikhail
though they wanted money they sold yosef
for 20
kasaf so their cough their palm was
closed tight they wanted kessaf their
palm was not generous in giving tzadaka
it wanted money
but in the times of joseph
the pair was open
so it was kaf that was golos that was
the angel of ace of dislocating the hip
socket of yaakov it was
in the times of chanukah says
they flipped it around
first of all it became a pach their
mouth was closed the
quotes yo siphon that they killed
the kashmir
israel who were maushin on the jewish
people to the evanim so they ensured
that the mouth remained closed thus the
closed path
and the cuff was opened wide as it says
in sephora yosefine when the kashmir
were victorious
they distributed a lot of the money to
tsadaka they overcame the desire for
money so at the time of machiras yosef
the it was kaf
the palm the letter huff
the letter
pay
was closed tight they wanted money but
the pair was open
and in the times of hanukkah it was pach
the letter pay
the mouth was closed
they were
removed all the malshenem and the huff
the palm was open wide the avoid of
chanukah
is to overcome the desire for kasef when
specifically there's an indian to
distribute tsudaka to the anem if you
look in the magana from the beginning of
sim and tafreish ayan the minogue is for
the
rm to
circle to all the houses on chanukah to
give sadaqa in fact the bhagavaram
quotes to say for hanukkahs habbayas
which was a karmain that the gematria of
chanukah
so in hanukkah we have to overcome
the illicit desire for question and
therefore yes there are many things we
shouldn't do by the near hanukkah but
foremost among them is us
it is prohibited to count money by the
chanukah someone who counts money it
shows
his
want and like for amassing
this is antithetical to the nearest of
chanukah the miracle of chanukah is to
recognize that the mouth should remain
closed and the palm should be opened
generously to give to others wishing
everyone afraid
