Deciding where to light the Menorah in one's home - Chanukah Shiur by Rabbi Nachum Scheiner

in the previous year we spoke about we are to place the Mana and Sh it's not light the and we spoke about not the source the M but you light and Sh where you light I'm sure some of you actually came across the last night in the Sho what side what side is the M stand in today she we're going to go back to the that's the says you light and thear says where you light you lighted by the door outside that itself I believe it was last year we spoke about when you light the we exactly the light we do you light you're putting it in the door by the door we're in the door to you light so that the speaks about as well do you like in your house says you put it P by the door B of your house outside but where where do you put the that's why I opened up in sh we spoke about in last week's year where exactly in the sh do you put it we in your house do you put it we you put it in the right side on the in the right side of the door you put it on the left side when you put it in the doorway do you put it on the right side or do you put on the left side what's the why should you put on the right side why should you put on the left side give reasons the reason why to put it the right side of the on the right side one reason is the right side every Mitzvah that we do you use your right hand when you take lul the lul goes in your right hand unless you're a lefty you make KES you put the you put on your right hand MIT you do so if that's the case so then the the man also put the Mana on the right another reason another reason to put the Mana in the doorway on the right side is because he's more pursuing on the right as explained the person is more in his the nature of a person is to look to the right we put the so people should see look at the so we put it on the right side in the door in the right so this should be pursu obviously just to make it clear when we're saying right as we'll soon see more about it the right means your left the means for the people outside be a in so reason number one to put it on the right again when you're going to be facing outside it be your left but from the outside you're putting the outside and you're lighting outside it's it's the right of outside that's re so reason number one is because every Mitzvah you do it you're supposed to do be reason number two why to put it on the right side is because he's more presum and reason number three is this is already from the the reason why to do is says did do another we spoke about this even the you made use that you used it for a MIT use it again so that side the right side has a mza means so when you're facing outside the left side has a the right coming in so put the over there as well also you're using the right side for the Mitzvah of mza use it for another Mitzvah the Mitzvah of man so we have three reasons why to put the man when the says to put the man to put the on the right we have three reasons a between the three reasons and we're going to be using this a lot so hold on what happens if there's no mza if there's no mza there could be many different reasons we'll go through a few learn simple way these no you're not to put a the first 30 days if you're renting if you're renting so you moved into a house just two weeks ago you didn't put mzas up yet so there's no mza like the rambam if there's no door okay that's usually not the case at least not the front or uh where else we said renting you go away shabas Kana you rent a place there's no mza the first two reasons presum to put on the right you still should put at the right however if the reason is p the right just because there's a m there put another mitzah over there as well so if there's no M there's no there's no reason but to put it to the right the that holds that it should be on the right what's to put it on the on the left why should you put the Mana on the left so one reason is brought says the reason is like we spoke Tak last week we was the but where was in the B coming in from the back it was on the so just like in the was on the left when you put it in the doorway you should also put it on the left a reason for the left another reason another reason is he really more than coming to say a reason he's really coming to beash I we just said that the third reason before to right is since you did a Mitzvah you should do another Mitzvah on the same place so what's the arm to put on the left he says like this there's also a concept which means you're not supposed to use for an example by by benching one for both you make a when you bench and then so as we all know these two beers right afterwards you're mixing the one these two KES why two KES why can't you just use one and you bench on the and then afterwards you make on the the which means you can't cash in do a few things that one the same do a few Mitzvah so what's what's the HZ between the gar to use to do this he's a the says he's a mil to use to do the same Mitzvah theah you should do another and so explains brought a lot all over means if at the same time you want to cash in two at the same time you're benching and you need two but if you did already you use this for and you want to go now a so says the here it's during the M the Mitzvah is going on now so not to put the same place we had to put it's more and to do it so that would so just to make it clear we said three reasons why to put the man on the right side every Mitzvah on the these more and you're ready doing one do another the reason to do reason number one we saw reason number two would be because so therefore not to put it on the right here once again there's a clear in the two reasons if the reason like this says if that's the case the mo like we said before if he's no we agreed he's a mile of the reason why to put up because we want to do like what was in the bdash do nothing do with a M even if there's no mza you're renting a house and there's no M you should still put up a smile let let's move on now we have a where do you put the in the b in your house in the door do you put it on the right side or the left you put SM on the left side that's kapas and the gamar says yet another reason the gamar says you know why is being and the and like the shus goes on to take it a step further the wearing is in the doorway and says the says so he's surrounded by mitzvas yes on the right M on the left and he himself has brings the is not speaking about but the says this idea the says and he's wearing and he has and also another is a person surrounded the mitz he rules a person will be surrounded by mitz what are the mitz actually says but the is that a person should be oh very good very good sh what do you mean you don't like by day later that's a separate truth when exactly this is but not by day says he heard this from his grandfather the but he doesn't remember what the terets was but him what's it's and it's so if it's how do you have you could be wearing it you don't have to take it off at you could you don't have to you don't have to take off the but it's called you don't have the that's called you don't have to take off the you don't put on it's it's interesting the on the when he explains that the sh says he says interesting but he only says not why not he says because it's going like the we're not going to go into that we're not learning but he says with the r if you go with a that you light by the and still like together in the morning after M It's Not Dark Yet so then it's a then you still have you still have the mitzah and he says that's why the doesn't say it's but you do have so so so first of all I hear you're saying Friday night you T it on have it so you want to know if Friday night Tak don't have to put it over there but because of all the days they to do it what you say is like this first of all Friday night why is it different than just like shabas to wear to wear you don't put on but if you're wearing you have to take it off by shabas my father told me he remembers the r being MRA Friday night with but I'm not I'm not going into I'm just saying it's not every night if you if you're wearing the you didn't take off theill yet you let to leave it on so what do we have over here we have the gamor says the reason why none of the above reasons that we said before the gar says you know why you shoulding but on this idea that theor says which again let's just understand clearly if you T lighting by the door when you're facing the man it turns out being it's going to be the mza if the mza let's say the front door if you're lighting by the front door so you're facing the front door if you're inside so then the m is on your left the manura is going to be on your right but that's called M be because from the outside coming into your house the m is on the right and the Manas on the left on this note to be in the beginning of says to go around collecting to go around collecting the primam explains why what what's the in what's the inion to for collecting on so explains wanted from the three know they want so for that is a time to be in all three and also to do to give poor people to give that's why explains the for the that explains for the that the says to go around to go around brings this and he says it's also a of being the only comes to door to collect so just like you're standing in the doorway with with you also with the and he says it's many have the to say to say just to to know when speaking about that we say and we say the at the end of twice you say it twice so explains that it's how many words why do we say brings the reason why you say is because it's he says like this now they said they said it and that's that's a reason for why the is R three letters is is and is so it's also this idea of and and and and on before V going into na that the concept of is only when you have different mitas if you don't have a mza which we'll get to in a minute if it's an AF but if you don't have a mza should you should let's you have two people lighing by the door yeah SL you pass by people Li outside you have a a b deer even a few families by the door outside you have piled up a bunch of manous in the boxes if there's no should some light on the right some right on the left should be means you have different mitzvas but the same mitvah of man one person on the the right one person on left that you don't say if it's a different you have that's as we said you put it on the left so you should be what happens Tak if you don't have if you don't have don't have the reason of the whole reason to put it on the left is because the put if you don't have there's no smile to put to and the EMES that the on that shelter says I'll what says this if it's not just the Shas didn't just say you have some more things also and the also means a lady doesn't have to light on the left the whole V is to be and to have with so for them when they light they don't have to light but so if a person does not have a mza like we said you're renting the house house you R away for shabas you're renting an Airbnb there's no mza and you're lighting by the door Theus comes out that you you don't have you don't have to lie it on the left so so the EM is like this before going the when the shst brings this in read the inside when he says how does this come in how do you understand he says that he says you do you put them in what's this bring so the writing in the parish says that the shst is saying even if you don't have this reason you still put them in when made to put it's always so he understands that it doesn't make a difference even though the reason why to put but even if he's no M you still put it on the left however that's the say that it's only because he's if these no what do you do you don't have to put up a smile but furthermore not only you don't have to put up a Smo you actually should put be in as we began this Shear these mil to put the on the right side every MIT you put on the right there's more on the right so should put it on the right so very clear takeaway we saw reasons for the right reasons for the left says you put it in the left and the reason is you should be if there is no for whatever reason then you not only you don't have to put them you don't have them put interesting a window which you don't have a m in the window so you don't have the reason of so where do you put it in the window to put it in the window you're lighting the window to put it on the right the left so speaks about it and he says like this there's no difference unless there's angle on the window but there's no difference to right or to the left in the doorway people tend to look to the right when they go through the door they look to the right in the window you're putting it for the people to look passing by so they see it in the window it's in the window doesn't make a difference to the right or to the left however if you remember we said before there's another reason why to put it on the right is because all Mitzvah that we do we put to the right the right hand we hold with the right hand for that it would still be a reason even in the window to put it in the right let's go through now one or two NAS and with that we're going to conclude so we said with a clarite you put the man so when you walk through you have the the has a chv what happens if you can't walk through the door so you don't have the it's almost could be always n if you like by the door how exactly you getting the man into the door you put a table over there so whatever door you're using a lot of times you just don't use that door over Kan you can't walk through you can't walk through I light by a porch door the table's there so finish the table's there you can't go out you can't use the door so do you say that you should still light on the left side because you have you're not you can't walk through so he says like this he says that he brings first of all the gamor says only brings also that brings it more and doesn't say anything about that you should be meaning to say it doesn't mean doesn't da mean that when you walk through you're going to be about itself that even if you can't get through he says like what we mentioned before in the shelter that the shter says even if you have no you put them because that's what it's on the left side forget about all the reasons so even if you can't walk through the door you still put the you put the what say so say like this ladies says reason of Lady Tak should is like this everybody does no no you're right I'm sorry they have they do have but what we said now from the that if you can't walk through the door you still put up a smile however if it's a door that you never use even though a door and a over there they ready that's not considered it's because when you five years ago when you had it he was a door and you put a mza very nice the ver is that it's a mza and he's a doorway say what we said from the when there's a table there and you P not going to go through the doorway it's still considered but if you absolutely never use the door for the past 12 months you didn't use the door over put lastly theha that says that this whole this whole discussion that we had today this morning is all of what the G says says after the you put it you don't you don't you put it and the people in your house for that besides no there's no reason the whole is only speaking about when you put a now when you light it inside the whole people in the house people on the house wherever you put it you put on the table wherever you put it says the are those that that light inside and they're light it by a door then it's still B in but really says this whole discussion really is a what the says you light outside one more and this sum it up we said that you put them in why you should have and what happens I'm just bringing itus what comes out not but what comes out if you have the mza on the left side M on the left side m is on the right side what does mean m on the left side if you have a porch a enclosed porch where do you put the mza you put it when we say right means coming from the outside into your house you put it on the right but a enclosed porch it's a shil I think the minig is to put it on the left which means on the right going out just like if you have a room when you put in the bed going into a bedroom you put it on the right going into the bedroom so here you put it on the right going out onto the porch which really means on the left from coming inside if that's the case so then where do you put the Mana you put the Mana on the right that's what I have by me I have an enclosed porch and I light by that doorway porchway it's a glass door you can see it outside the m the m but many hold you put the M which means on the right going outside if you're on your porch you're coming into your house usually your mza is on your right here your mza is on the left what's going to come out over here is quite the opposite mza is have everything that's what comes out you have but you also have the reasons why to have the or these morea and just to conclude with a V from the he says was speaking about the whole she that the M really what comes out is that they're both be men it's a v it's a but it's both be men means it's it's when you're standing inside lighting he says like this the reason for mza the concept for mza is to be a sh on the house so M it's a mza on the right side coming into the house it's a on the house that's the right side the the to protect from the outside influence thean didn't want to kill us thean just wanted that we should be like them even learning the says why notans you didn't mind even that we learned the Torah but we should learn it like as if the would learn the G with an art scroll not how not the to so the is to to protect the outside influence so if that's the case then the being in from the outside that both side we should to have the lesson the LI from and to be able to have have a wonderful day
