the first night of hanukkah in the
concentration camps
they really wanted to light the hanukkah
candles
so some people were able to get a few
drops of oil from here and from there
somebody took his shirt off
ripped it apart to make wicks for the
candles hundreds of people gathered
around
to hear the blessings and to see the
lighting of the grand rabbi
the bubba for rebecca this was so
dangerous because if the nazis would
catch him it would kill him
so he says the first blessing
hashem we thank god king of the universe
that commanded us
to light the candles
the second blessing
hashem we thank god
miracles for our forefathers back then
and we asked that he should do the same
for us today but then there was a small
hesitation the first night we say three
blessings and before the third blessing
a pause
the rabbi didn't say the blessing and
only after a few seconds he continued
and said
we thank hashem
kept us alive sustained us and brought
us to this special happy season
after the lighting
people asked him what was that
hesitation
why did you pause
and he explained i was about to say
thank you hashem for bringing us to this
special happy season normally we say
when it's a happy time how can you say
chef how can you be happy now when
brothers and sisters are being butchered
so i was thinking can i say this
blessing now
then i looked around in the room
and i saw hundreds of people
hundreds of jewish brothers and sisters
willing to risk their lives
to fulfill
hashem's commandments and for that you
have to say
i was married that i merited to see
the jews are willing to risk their lives
just to do the right thing
just to fulfill the commandments man
demands a shaykh
thank god
they have such a beautiful nation that
just wants to do the right thing at all
costs
i said the shadriano for that
in our times we have no problem saying
thank god it's not dangerous to light
the hanukkah campus
with what great happiness in our hearts
tremendous joy we should be able to say

brought us to this special special happy
season we should always
