Hilchot (Oral laws) of Chanukah - Part 1 - Rabbi Alon Anava

but anyways we want to talk a little bit about konoka Chanukah is coming in a week in a week is first candle Kanaka I mean we're lighting it on Malaysia but but next Sunday is the first day of Hanukkah and we had a few interesting classes about some mystical explanations about Hanukkah which you can find online in the entire week this week and next week we will talk a lot about Hanukkah and mainly what I want to I want to derive out of this beautiful holiday what I want to talk about today is a little bit of simple laws of Halle Hodes about Hanukkah but with a little bit of explanation of the mystical part of the Halle high itself why I have to do it so the main topics of Hanukkah we're going to read out of the book the rain topics that I need to follow is the first of all I have to make sure that in every house is the menorah gonna be legen and it means that everybody has to have a everybody's obligated in being part of a lighting of a menorah usually the men are the ones who like to take the the candles but women have to be participating in the lighting of the menorah you have to make sure that the children of the house and rid the rest of the other children also know about the holiday and they know everything about the miracle it's extremely important that when you have the opportunity to influence another person that doesn't like the menorah to light the menorah to participating lighting it's extremely important that we'll talk about that sometimes we'll get to it today but the kids get Hanukkah gelt that they get money on chili all kids mainly for younger kids but it's all the kids can get a tattoo why all the kids or why Kartika guilt we're gonna go through one by one if we're not going to get to it this week this shoe the the entire shoe team we're going to talk to it about it it's important to also encourage the kids that they will give other kids Hanukkah gelt mainly for keynote but also for them you'll be able to give charity and it's extremely important to arouse in the kids or other people to increase in charity of the time of the days of Hanukkah and it's very very important to learn everything about Hanukkah in the days of Hanukkah and these are the general general things now basically what happened in Kanaka Honoka just in a very short overview we start celebrating Hanukkah on the day that is half a the 25th day of Kislev and if you look at the word Hanukkah and you break it into two the first part of the word is her no pregnant well and then the last part is cafe Renault means park and cafe is the day of the month this is the day that the war stopped so they part the hano they stopped on the day of cafe because the war we learnt about it in the previous show that there was constantly fighting for about 20 years the whole fight was about 20 years 20 years there was better mikdash there was the core name everything was going there yeah of course and the Greek already we talked about it last week I want to go into length the Greek came and they were start oppressing the Jews and at some point somebody lost it and they were like okay we're going to fight with him so and then there was a a war but the a lot of people think that their war was like just a couple days the war was very long it was constantly fighting so excuse me no there was constantly constantly fighting and every time they would go let's say one or two of the the Jewish from the hush morena Jewish Road soldiers into one place and two or three guys would fight a thousand two thousand three thousand people and win them like that and come back but it was an ongoing war it wasn't like a one-time thing but on the half hey at the 25th day of Kislev the war ended and that's kind of how it got a name a new cafe Hinault is parked they stopped in the day of the 25th of Kislev another reason why I got the name Honoka is because it's exact same time they did something that is called kanakam is bare they anointed the the altar and they had a party so to say festival for eight days they built the altar and they they did the first use of it and this is called Hanukkah that's how DJ the dedication we see now in our days that if somebody gets a new home the dukkha dukkhata bite and and and and it's a custom up until today so they did this dedication for the mikdash and it was exactly at that time therefore they called it Hanukkah Hanukkah time is where and it was at the same time now the period of Hanukkah was in the middle of the time of the Second Temple and that's the time when it all started we talked about it more last year I wanna I don't want to stop about it too much but mainly what the Greek wanted to do is that they wanted to come to oppose their laws they did not want us to believe in the Kadosh Baruch they they did not want us to practice the Torah they said they did not have a problem with us learning Torah just don't practice it just don't bring it into to your to your life and they may need mainly did not like anything that didn't make sense they didn't like circumcision didn't like family purity they didn't like Mikve kosher all these things that didn't didn't make sense because the Greek were all about making sense and they did not like the whole concept so their fight was against the spiritual part of the religion now one of the miracles was there was a lot of miracles one of the miracle was that they won the world I mean it was miraculous but one of the miracles was that they came into beta Mukesh after the war and all the pictures of oil were contaminated because they knew that if they touch the oil they will make the oil and pure therefore they could not use it unfortunately for them they did not know the halacha and even if the entire nation is in fury still have to use the oil but the miracle was that they went through the rubbles and all the destruction and they found the picture of oil and the oil you know the famous story it was supposed to be enough for one day and it lit up for eight days so that was the basic part of the miracle but other than that the main part of the miracle was that a shame came down to the world and he changed something because there were many many many miracles in the past and there was not a holiday for them if we would have a holiday for every miracle that we had then we will have 50 million holidays every day because almost every day there were great great miracles the reason why the sages decided Hanukkah will have a holiday they only decided that a year later because they saw they there were very very high level individuals they had what's called waka kodesh the holy spirit and they saw that the following we hear the exact same godly revelation returns and usually that doesn't happen in a miracle a miracle happened it's a one-time thing and that's it the sages at the time they saw that the godly revelation that happened the year before we turned again that year therefore they understood that this is going to be a continuous continuing thing therefore they they said this is going to be a holiday and since then we do two things that our sages a instructed us to do one of them is saying Helene is praising a shame when we pray and now that one is lighting candles we spoke about it the last class that there are 613 with votes from the Torah and then there are seven patrols from our sages one of them is saying Helen one of them is lighting candles Shabbat candles who has a vote doing the the limitations and boundaries of the places but the last law the last Mitzvah that the sages decided is the mixture of Hanukkah lighting the candle that lit the candle of Hanukkah which means that Hanukkah is mitzvah number 620 620 is the numerical value of the name of the word kettle crown which means that the Macan the mitzvah of Hanukkah is literally completes all 620 Meatwad and it's the crowd of the Quran so we have two meats more from our sages that we celebrate on the holiday of Hanukkah one of them is saying Hallel and women should say that too we spoke about last year over the the obligation of women praying women should say Hallel - it's not a long prayer better if they say it while the pressure on it and if they can't you should make an effort in the time of Hanukkah - pressure on it so they can say hello and even if you did not pressure Holroyd you can still still say well it is a prayer that that is instructed by our sages and it's good to say that now we're gonna go a few laws in Hanukkah one of them is we have to be happy in the time of Hanukkah it's a mitzvah too little to be festive and to celebrate during the time of Hanukkah and it's prohibited from us to fast we're not allowed to fast on the of Hanukkah even a bride and groom then they when they have their wedding during the days of Hanukkah bride and groom's they fast on the day of their wedding on the wait days of Hanukkah bride and groom are not allowed to fast excuse me it's a very good time to get married because first of all we are we obligated in being happy and festive and festive so if you get married on the days of Hanukkah then you tripling the happiness then you have your ship of a hot and it's a very good time to get married it's actually a very busy season in the wedding industry so when you're planning your wedding without a sham planet of Hanukkah so we're we obligated in being happy we're not allowed to too fast and Haruka we're allowed to do Mela ha well out to work it's the one of the only two holidays that we are allowed to work not like there are the festivals like pesticide Shavuot and Sukkot that we're not allowed to work on Hanukkah you allowed to work but at the time that we light candles women are specifically not allowed to work to do any type of mela ha not washing dishes not mopping the floor not a doing laundry any type of work and even if you work in a job with the time when you like cans in order to work this is the only time when we're not allowed to work also men but women in particular this is the time that women are not allowed to do anything and one of the many reasons why because one of the miracles of the holiday of Hanukkah was because of a woman her name was the who did and the ashkenazi way of saying is you who this but her name was you who did she was the daughter Johanna and she went and seduced one of the biggest generals of the army of the Greeks and she may and she fed him cheese's and he got very thirsty so she did this very good wine she made him drunk then he fell asleep and she chopped his head off so she was a very brave woman I don't think there's many women in our generation that would be willing to do such a thing so in the merit of this amazing woman like I mentioned many times that it's it's the power and the merit of the women who actually always always saves us so in the merit of this amazing woman and we it was another part of the world it was one therefore this is a very special holiday for women and especially when we like candles you know how to do anything you want to take that time we're going to talk about it probably Malaysia but when we light the first candle but we're also going to do another show we're gonna have one on Tuesday and Thursday about many things you want to do during the time of the candle lighting and for sure you don't know work you want to concentrate that you're not doing anything if you if you marry then you have kids then you want to be busy with the kids and and around them if you single you still want to do read whatever you need to read and learn whatever you need to learn but it's definitely not the time to do an email AHA for 30 minutes yes since you know it's when you will next to the candles so I mean if it's time to light the candles and you lighting the candles an hour later because your husband is at work and he's coming late it's not that that's it you're on vacation I mean do you want to you want to do that from Shakya from sundown to all the time that they can delete that you're not busy in doing anything that you focused on the mitzvah of lighting the candles excuse me reading learning ruler reading what you're learning part of the things that you want to do is you want to not read a magazine you will talk about what are the things you want to read but it's not reading a magazine and you want to do it while the candles are lit up know the time so what we're going to get to it the time to light first of all from time of Kia which here in spots is around 4:30 everyone should check in their own place where what time is Kia but from Shia you know what to do anything till you like candles you know not to eat even so that's why we we have the the habit that we light candles as early as we can it's not good to do the light candle lighting at 8:00 in the evening because call from skia from sundown and everyone needs to look in their area where were when it's Kia this Friday in Swati I was 431 there's two types of shpiow what's what's called the Guevara Benny show so one of them is in this Shabbat was 431 and babe maybe show isn't 439 you want to check exactly but from the time of Shia you're not allowed to eat you don't have to learn you know no to do anything you have to write candles so we men go to premium huh a little bit earlier we light candles in the in the synagogue and we rush home to light candles right away if you're having a party and you want to light the candles at 8 o'clock in the evening till you write it again it's not good to wait to 8:00 you want to light it in it's time now for the ladies once Kia comes in you are you wanna you stop you don't do anything you don't eat you don't have coffee you don't clean you don't do anything you sit and you wait for the candles to be lit in and once the cans are little you have half an hour that you have to be focused on the candles that doesn't mean you have to sit like this why not if you want to look at the candles and you meditate on work on the right things that's one thing but there are certain things you want to learn and read when I'm saying reading there's a certainty cool brought by the result that you read next to the candles and you want to do that that's that's reading that's learning now very few people are able to look at the candles and meditate on the organiz so at least if you don't do that then you read something that has to do the miracle or if a you're in a group so the husband should say well Torah no I say that if let's say you want to organize a party okay and in the party you want to make a public lighting of the menorah we'll go through all the other hoods but let's say one of the first things that we're going to go through is is that women usually don't light the candles now what happens to a single woman that she doesn't have a husband to come home to light the candles so I can write now a menorah for another for another person so let's say I like candles at 4:30 for my family and 8 o'clock in the evening I'm making a party and in the party coming a lot of individuals that did not hear the menorah then I can light it again and I light it for them with abraha because I'm now lighting it for somebody else now the halacha is that I must have my family members around me because I have to do what's called peels to Manisa I have to advertise the miracle now assuming let's say I don't have family members I have to have people around me I can't lie the kemon or by myself now if I let's say a husband a man works and he can't get off work and he comes home very late and it's 11 o'clock at night and there's nobody there then he can't say the braja he has to light it to the ha Nokia and he can say the Baha so if it's me I'm now very particular and I light the candles exactly on time I run from show my wife and kids are there and I the menorah three hours later we're making a party and we're inviting a lot of people and I know that in that party there are people who didn't hear the blessing and they didn't see a candle lighting I'm gonna light again the menorah and I will say abraha in this particular case it would be I will maybe get maybe one of my son's to light it or maybe a man that came home from a work plate but if there's not that option I would light it again with the braava and it's not gonna be able honey but a lot of this saying of pressing invent cause I'm lining it to the individuals that did not benefit from the braja before he's not capable if you're doing it for a person that is not capable first of all if it's a person that is not capable better to bring that person to a public lighting so they will see it but if it depends on the level of the capability of the person because you can't take to a person who's physically or mentally not capable and make them light it they they're not doing the actual Mitzvah it's better to bring somebody to light it for them or bring them to a public lighting no it's not necessarily if you can let's do like this just because it would be more polite for people if you want if you have questions maybe write them down and then after I'll answer all the questions because sometimes it's very personal and and then it's not shy up to other people the point is that that a person who's not capable of doing it then you want to bring that paper person to somebody else's candle-lighting the thing is that the we have to personal who are the ones are obligated the ones are obligated in the car if it is Hanukkah candles is everybody everybody has to be part of a candle lighting there's not one person that is exempt from that and the right way of doing it is that one person in the family lights for the entire family that's the right way of doing it there is the custom that for example with my boys all my boys light the menorah so this is more for educating they're not obligated they can be a considered part of the candle lighting when I do it we want to educate them so my boys and many others what they do is the boys have their own menorahs and they light their own candles women don't do that when my daughter was very young she used to light also a candle because because she first of all didn't want to be out it's not fair why the boys are lighting and not me and now when she's older she doesn't light the candles but if a woman doesn't have a hand a husband and she's by herself then somebody else would like for her that's the right way of doing it even though he literally by himself but the thing is that she has to be present why should while he's lighting it so if a single woman doesn't have a husband then the right way is that she has to have somebody else lighted for and she has to be there now the right way of doing it is that you have to light the candles in your home and you have to light it in the main room of the house so where would that be that would be in the living room not in the bedroom or not in the kitchen we're going to talk about in a second where we're actually putting the menorah but first it's it's it's who's obligated in the menorah and how you do it everybody is obligated to hear the candle lighting and it's a mitzvah to do a very to beautify the the candles now we light it the right way of doing it is lighting it with oil not we lighting it with wax and you want to get the most purest oil to light it and you don't add all those things to the oil like you mentioned last week and you want it to be the most purest oil and you want it to be the most refined wick in our days you buy a ready-made kids you don't have to work so hard in the olden days they had to make the wick and then to put it into some some piece of a at the metal or wood or not made of something that may will make it float on the on the oil in our days is very simple you go to the supermarket and you buy made it ready-made week I made that may already make sense with good oil some of them are more better than the others you do not want to save the couple dollars on the oil you want to buy the most refined oil the most pure soul and the best kind you want to make sure that it's the best of it if you have what's called Khanum like the cups you want to make sure that they're cleaned every day you want to make sure that you're shining your menorah it's a very special Mitzvah you want to make sure that the me your menorah is very very beautiful if you have not so much money then you you want to invest in the menorah even though if you don't have much money and I'm going to tell you I'm going to sidetrack for a second for a personal story with the menorah is that I told you before that in the beginning of my path that I I didn't had my own business to fund my own organization so for many years I had a business and Boca sham the business was doing good and it was the first few years of my my religious life came konoka and I was like okay it's time to buy a Hanukkah so I went in my mind with the budget that I wanted to spend for a menorah for a Nokia and I went to the store and in my mind my my the amount was set for 300 dollars that was like that that's what I can afford for $300 to buy manoa aha Nokia and I went into the store and right away my eye catches the nice Minnewaska that one's the nice one that one's a nice one and of course the person from the cooler the store comes how can I help you I need a conocchia okay so right away I tell her how much is this Lenovo $3,000 oh okay okay how much is that one $4,000 okay I have expensive taste what do you have for 300 so she takes me this one this one this one right yeah it's not so nice and it was one menorah that really caught my eye how much how much is that one sure like that's not $300 it's way more okay what should I do and I was like okay you know what let me think about it and I go home and I'm like I really want that other Manoa it was very very expensive but I was like I really want it and on my other side I'm like you know but I budget myself for 300 and I wasn't backwards and forth what should i do what should I do and then I was like you know what why is the Shem giving me money Shem is giving me money to have a bigger balance in my bank account Hashem is giving me money to buy mitzvoth with it you know what I'm gonna go completely against my nature and I'm gonna go and buy this expensive conocchia because the money that Hashem gives me is to go to beautify a mitzvah and not to be cheap on a mitzvah and this is a very special Mitzvah it's not the time to being cheap now or stingy or or worried that I'm not gonna have enough money it's not in my budget I'm gonna go totally against my nature totally against my wife what if I would ask my wife what to do I'm buying the expensive conocchia and it was a very big struggle and I went and mode it's very expensive conocchia there was almost doesn't matter the amount much much more expensive than a $300 and and I filed if a Nokia and in my mind I'm like excited because I bought this fancy conocchia and in my mind I'm also worried now how you know IIIi how am I gonna pay for it anyways that day I had a meeting in some business deal that originally was supposed to close for a certain amount for maybe three or four thousand dollars and I'm sitting with the person out of the blue they're like okay I want this this this and this and the business deal was like three times more than what I initially expected and the business deal closed and I was like wow look how a Shem works if I would buy the $300 conocchia probably the deal would close but for the three thousand dollars and since I went completely out of my way and I was like no comes a mitzvah I'm going all the way and such a minute slaw and I'm gonna I'm not gonna be cheap and stingy with the money I'm doing from a mitzvah a sham ride away like an ATM says no problem I'll show you how I can change everything and that day the business deal closed three times more than what I was expecting it to close out of the blue it was like already a ready-made deal was just closing it so it was much easier to me to come to my wife and tell her I bought an expensive condo Kia because they I was like I bought an expensive or conocchia but look I made a very good business deal today so when it comes to a mitzvah you always want to beautify the Mitzvah as much as possible there's authorship after that you know I'll tell you another amazing miracle how I quit smoking I quit I used to smoke for 13 years like a chimney and I quit smoking from the exact same thing completely out of my way to do an unbelievable mitzvah I'll tell you later I don't want to get off the the the course of the of the topic but the point is the holidays that you have to beautify the candles you have to invest in a good rakia you go all the way out because this is a very very special Mitzvah now continuing the the weeks of the candles have to be from very good cotton like I said before don't be cheap on the on the on the candles and you want to make sure that the cups are clean that their colloquy is clean and every day that you prepare it like it's exactly like the priest you soothe you prepare the menorah and better make - next important thing is it's extremely important that you buy a kosher menorah and that you light the candles in the right way and one of the ways is that the candles have to be in line a lot of menorahs now they go in a circle they go in all sorts of shapes and all sorts of patterns that's not a kosher menorah the menorah has to be straight the candles have to be even they have to be the same height they cannot be going in zigzags and some but why not has to be the same height no the point is that some noise they go in a shape of a cassette of a rainbow they must be on a shape that's not good the candles have to be straight if you have a menorah that goes like a zigzag it's not good they have to be on the same hike if one of them if one of them is up too much it's not good but I'm talking about no you either the candles have to be straight yes why so here you can take the book and read this is Johanna oh it's none of the I Honey roti I'm dubash Oaxaca very low be good they have a chem dua the candles can have have to be straight me my sister wants a menorah that will go like this in a zigzag it's not good I'm not inventing you if you want to argue you can go down the street to the show yes of Cour and argue with him I know he has to be straight if you go now to a store and you buy a new Kia that goes like that it's not a kosher menorah I don't know who's writing it I any any place that I went that I saw where Orthodox people the Hinoki is straight you're not allowed to have it in zigzags or circles or patterns it's not a kosher conocchia and if you down here you can take the book and read you know Hebrew how they do it no I first of all the Orthodox doesn't mean that's they know what they're doing I know many people with black suits and Ben and hats and they don't know what they're doing we go by the book III maybe something smarter than the book I don't know but I read out of the book I read you hon awoke and what it says in Johanna whoa there's a forum there's there's t name and it says conocchia has to be straight not Zig zagged and not circle they're not waves they know she's me not about even in a fancy alright that has to that has to be one height but also the shape now go now to any normal store of Kentucky oat you'll see that the majority of the Hinoki oat is straight go now to any big show any big Center you're not gonna find the menorah that is shaped anywhere anyway but straight even and the same as they say all the minerals are the same I don't know what people invent unfortunately in arson people invent many things so it has to go by what the Chicano book says to us what our ha ha Meem tell us I know many people who invent all sorts of things they add all sorts of things too many stuff why did you do it I don't know why they do it so again it's not about it's not about also dogs are not Orthodox we have we go by what our sages teaches and I'll read it again just that it will be very very very obvious and Neveu TM dubash watch away below beagle they have a chem dua ken lawyer had you see me a show of a hot neatness this is exact now read it again and Neveu TM do be schewe a hot Java one line Java equal Ken law you had your same oshawa we had Niklas this is exact nor how to have that gam low it had big over hardware animo that's that you know why we have ii can't have a half stick between the candles you can put the candles too close to each other okay I'm gonna read it in Hebrew that if it has any doubts we hey if sick been a little condition low it can live her love Chanel there let's say very chemi the one you can have them too close to each other so there are menorahs that there are these mini menorahs you can have them too close because if there's a chance that the fire will touch each other then you didn't fly the right amount hey Malik Natasha why you have second - Lloyd honeymoon about them is evety towfish Lvovich kalkaluru if you lighting a reading with wax they cannot be next to each other because they little flame makes the the wax melt and then they touch each other so we have your five rules that are extremely important which a lot of people are not particularly with so when you say Martha Doc's Orthodox is the definition I don't know it's Orthodox yes this is what the Torah tells me so the Torah tells me very clearly they have to be in one line they cannot be zigzag they cannot be in a circle that cannot be have a fancy designer menorah simple they have to be in the same height they cannot be close to each other they if you riding with wax which is recommended to write with oil not with wax if you are lighting already with wax they have to be separated from each other these are the basic things it's a I'm actually happy that you brought it up maybe a lot of people think it's okay to buy these fancy finocchio it's not good that's even worse I don't know why people you know she mentioned the other day that there are workshops that you put also the cents in the oil I mean that I mean I don't know people are trying to excuse it excuse my language because people are not gonna like what I'm about to say they're trying to reform the the mitzvot so we're not allowed to restructure something that that is not supposed to be like that so I don't know why people make all these things I don't have control or responsibility of it but when it's time to do a mitzvah I open the book I don't count on the Judaica store or the workshop that I got an invite invitation I buy a book and I make sure that it's a kosher book and I read the book and I apply what the book tells me next thing we talked about that the the menorah has to be a co-chairman Oren has to be a nice as fancy as possible another important thing is that if you buy these cups and you pour their oil in it or you buy the crops that already have the oil if any of the oil is remaining you're not allowed to use this oil for anything you have to burn that and a lot of the cups what happens is the wick doesn't go so down I mean it's I mean some of the the sets that you buy or if you make it yourself there's always a little bit of oil in the bottom and by the way this also applies to Shabbos candles the Safavid em they like Shabbat candles with oil chicken Azim made they light it with a with wax different groups they have their own mini game many light with wax many light Shabbat candles with oil if there's remaining oil at the end of the cup you know to use this all you have to burn it after Shabbat same thing with Hanukkah you might have noticed or you remember or not remember that when we light the Hanukkah with these cups sometimes there's oil left in the bottom you can all hope to use this oil for anything you have to burn it except no you don't throw it it's like space it's it's no that's exactly what's about space is Ganesa it's like a something whole you can't throw it no the right way is to is to burn that oil first of all is you take the oil if you want to take the technical part of it the thing is like this it's this make order set over but again if you have oil remaining you know how to take the cup and throw it in the garbage first of all because this oil was used for a mitzvah you're not allowed to throw it in the garbage this is one way of the best way of doing it is you collect all the cups and you pour the oil into the cup and then you have one cup of oil and you just put awake and you burn it and you know yeah you yeah of course you without a behind you don't want to do it next to the candles it's not gonna be exactly now if you can't pour 100 percent of the oil then you take a candle and you hold the cup and you put the candle in it for three seconds it won't burn the oil and that's hitting the mossy pool and you want to do it because it's old it was used for a mitzvah if you are very very lazy and you're not capable and you don't want to then wrap it good and soil and put it in ice yes space is good knees up but the point is that in most cases they do burn the oil completely and again I don't want you leaving this class being OCD and starting to coming with the burners and making fires the point is that there's always going to be a little bit remaining that's fine but I'm talking about sometimes I don't know if you remember it from your experience the wick burns out and then you're left with three four millimeters of oil that's the oil you're not allowed to use I'm not really talking about the the greasy part that stays in the cup that you can throw I'm just telling you again don't don't leave now OCD and start good with a magnifying glass looking for oil if you're using particular cups that you want to use for the next day you don't have to wash it but the thing is that boko shame we have in our generation and abundance you throw these cups when you buy this kit in all the Judaica stores it comes with 36 cups that you have enough for every day as long as the majority of the oil burns take the cops throw it and take the cups you can throw then it has to be clean if you add in new oil if you have these special cups and every day you add oil then the cup has to be cleaned it has to be clean from dirt from anything else will read it inside yeah so so you want to buy you wanna buy oil that is shemin's ID that is already has a mixture in it that will burn it in the right way you this book this bottles that you can buy that our culture with the heck shell and they're done that it has the pure olive oil in it it sells like this it says like this and I'll read it just that you'll know and you make your decision decision now I want to read it that you'll see mitzvot mean Hamura leashed Amish Basha means I clean about Hanukkah Mitzvah minami move how that it's the best way of doing it to use olive oil for Hanukkah this is brought from Shahana whoa this is not an invention they made normal suey it cannot find this pure olive world yes signal Java or each dementia shame and he'll show are finicky if he cannot find this type of oil then he can use either wax or other type of oil that his light will be clean and pure and again this is again also brought down from the show carnival the very I'm in LA in homage to him if you can't find these are a corresponding sherry manikarnika all the types of care of oils of kosher for Hanukkah so you want to make a decision if you want it to be beautiful if you wanted to be a mega doll if you feel that the chemin sight the pure the olive oil is not as beautiful the candle is not as beautiful you make your own decision if you want it to be any type of oil will be kosher it's your decision if you want the pure pure olive oil or if you want it to be more beautiful a canned la flame or you make a mix between between them this is a matter of opinion this is a matter of taste each one does whatever they want in regards to the cups that you ask it says like this and I'm gonna read again a neighbour and translate that a Shimon honey album NOAA Honoka the kettle the oil that stayed after lighting the menorah they ran it up the load and also the wigs or silicon medulla you make yourself a little fire they're so fun and you burn them why Mishu Mishu Sula meets Vuitton because they were used for a mitzvah you can throw them vassula not vain you know how to derive any pleasure from them la team can hit not finish a mixer and hotel unless you make a condition that you're saying whatever is left from the oil I'm not I'm not using it for anything any any benefits that's what I was about to say because that's what I do so some people they keep it I burn everything with comets Maya talk my love my Hanukkah and it might have dolla candles there at the end anything that was used for Mitzvah this is by the way it also with Harwood I have Dalek and oh you use the entire of data of Dalek and oh then you go to this point you don't throw this to the garbage you can throw it to the garbage it was used for Mitzvah so you have to either I know a lot of people say rapid double wraps in foil and throw it it's the same thing with to teach my little kids they rip their titty out all the time even me sometime the little cheat sheet gets ripped yes you can wrap it twice and throw it but why would I wanted to throw a mitzvah so the TTL type or - Mason Ganesha I put it in in books that we bury but things like they have dollar candle and Hanukkah candle and my love in my talk I mean everybody's asking my talk to do a jam out of it I keep the talk to mess up you know you know how come you allow to do the top for a mitzvah because that's why many people don't use it for the jam the thing is that for the jam is that you actually making food out of it and you if you derive I never made you can do it I based on many teachings especially of Kabbalah I you I burn my talk in in the comments and everything exactly now I can tell you already that this is where you see the power of a mitzvah that every Sukkot I buy my kids at all game just for the he know my boys I buy them a love and a dog so they feel all happy that they have a natal grand for the Phoenix for the educating but a lot of the times since it's very expensive we buy a talk that is pursued or you know a little kid doesn't really it's not a mixture for them so one time we opened up the the boxes of the atoll game months after Sukkot so they throw game of my boys were all rotten and crumpled and hard and and and and stiff and my rogue that was used for a mitzvah was like eight nine months after Sukkot was exactly like how it looked in Sukkot fresh nor dry had sent like as if it was preserved and I pulled it out of the box and I told my wife look at the power of a mitzvah the that Mitzvah they could do shout the holiness penetrated in the dog it was left perfect nine months after Sukkot so I burned my Togo so in in hot and the hermit's there's a reason for that when we come festival talk about that I burned my lab because because the candle you don't have the candle you don't eat here you take the dog and you can elevate through saying a bra you're derived now from it this is not a I mean you're not gonna eat a candle so going back to what we were saying so we can finish this class if you do light with the candles the right way is to have a read in your mind to what to do a condition that was ever is left I'm not going to derive any pleasure from that and I'm gonna leave it but as it says here that you make yourself a little medulla yeah the best best way to take it take a can of olives or pickles or whatever empty it wash it put it all inside and burn it and just burn everything inside or you can wrap it and and and and throw that too but the point is that you have to understand that the oil in the conocchia is was used for a mitzvah you cannot later on take and use it or throw it or desecrate it in any way when I keep it in a holey matter in a holy fashion same with the wigs so these this way is you burn it off once you burn it's like challah every week you do a foreshock Allah I hope you do every week a foreshock Allah but then you were you remaining with a piece of dough so there's a question what do you do with this dough so every couple weeks my wife makes the barbecue no she stinks up the whole home she puts it in the in the oven the whole house becomes smog but she burns the hell out til it's burnt and then you throw it you you can do that you don't have to know you have to burn it has to be burnt yeah yeah yeah some people I mean in the beginning exactly in the beginning of our marriage life my wife used to bury it in Pesa in with the comets the problem was that my entire fridge was bowls of of oil at some point I was like there's no room anymore and then I would come to the burning of the Comets with you know this book with the bags and you can't throw it with the foil you have to open it now it was frozen so it's all stuck into it and it became such a big mess now I had a problem it doesn't burn the whole dough because it's stuck to the foil and so at some point I asked our oven he's like just burn it tell your wife to to burn it and after she uses it if you don't want that you can if you can you burn it right after but but practical people they say more every time I'm going to make a module so my wife doesn't every couple weeks if you can why not yeah you burn it right away now it has to be burnt since we don't use it and you don't give it to a priest it has to be burnt and nobody can have any pleasure out of it has to be burnt means you have to put it on on the fire that it will be my mash becomes it will be okay in everything where do you find the opinions what you yeah that's what that's what other people do yeah that nobody would arrive even an animal will not have the pleasure fulness no after the oil was remained you lit up now the ha Nokia you have some oil left in the in the now you can't use it for the next day because you have to use new new oil it's already was burnt it was already used the Mitzvah is over the next day is a new Mitzvah you can't use it again so you have to renew it yeah you can't refill it it like it is like to roll it over and they say okay I have half a cup you have to that's why in our day you just throw the whole Cup if if you don't want to go through all this so you make a condition if you don't want to go through this whole thing you make a condition of burning and getting rid of it so you make a condition of saying any remaining oil that will remain I am NOT going to use it and I'm not going to have any benefit from it and therefore I can throw it away yeah I'll believe no I'm going to read it again in them that's that way that way you you follow no and I'll translate it okay attache mean honey album in Nova - lugia the the oil that is left in the canoe Kia after lighting it the tenets of tea lot also the wicks osela handmade oh I was so fun you make a small bonfire I suggested in a team and you burn everything completely Mishu Mishu hook to limits makan because they were designated to their Mitzvah so you can have any use of it vassula not Pam which means you can't enjoy it not the wigs not the cup not the oil since it was designated for a mitzvah that's it it's Mukti you can't use it anymore for anything not muck selection but Mukti means that you can use it anymore airline can heat now only if he made a condition before Shane no max it and hotel that he's not taking the rest and separating it from the Mitzvah if you do that then you're not obligated in anything that I just told you yes so you can make a condition but the right way of doing it even if you don't make a condition then you know to just throw it to the garbage if you want to be super safe then before you like the candles you tell your husband make a condition that anything is going to be left is not gonna be separated from the result then you put it in a bag and you throw in and that's it exactly yeah you take the cops put it on the garbage and throw it away and nothing happens but the point is a lot of people don't do a condition or they don't know that and either they use the oil they throw the oil they they yeah yeah I'll give you an I'll give you I'll give you an example what it means to make a condition according to halakha when I now wash my hands to eat a meal I'm obligated in eating where I wash my hands and I have to say the bending where I wash my hands but let's say I know that I'm invited to a dinner by friends and I'm gonna eat there too before I wash my hands I can make a condition I'm now going to wash my hands here I'm gonna eat here but then I'm going to my friend and I'm gonna say the blessing the badgering there if I did this condition before I'm allowed to bench over there but if I didn't I have to save the benching where exactly so so yeah so in many situations we see that in order to do something you have to make a condition and if you make a condition then it'll you it allows you to do something else and there's many times in halahala that we find that one has to make a condition once you made the condition then you're good to go now in this case why is that you have to be careful because let's say you husband into a condition I forgot it has to do your husband not you he's doing the Mitzvah what happens if he came home brush kids balla God and he didn't do it in any light now what so you need to know what to do if you didn't do a condition now the point is that I know that I'm telling that from experience I come home all excited it's very exciting holiday then I have six kids jumping on me did you get donuts did you get the jelly did you get the chocolate yeah the Dori I can't throw the dough in my wife's let's go to another line and there's a whole balligan and I have to put everything together and where's everything and you're sitting and quiet in the two-year-old is open their books I want that one I want that one no no and I have to tell you how it is in a home and a whole mess so it slipped my mind to be like oh okay I'm gonna make a condition out that so sometimes you forget about the condition now I have to make a condition in your mind that the the the husband before he lights candles yes to have in mins mind okay whatever is left but sometimes it doesn't happen and I'm saying that from from my own experience that you don't always focus when you're 17 years old and you don't have three result running around you and getting you out of your focus then you can do the mitzvot what's called the sugar that we don't go over shame we have kids we have a mess we have doughnuts we have the latkes on the fire there's guests there's the uncle that you can stand that your wife invited all these things that's going on here you don't always remember to suit to do the condition if you dinner member just know that you can't use the oil for the next day you can't use it you can roll it over to a different event you have to burn it off you have to treat it like it was designated for a mitzvah therefore you cannot throw it you cannot have benefits from it you cannot sell it you cannot recycle it so each one does it their way some people they pack it they put it aside exactly like you said you said you burn it with your comets there's a spiritual reason why to burn things with the commits I mean I keep my lab I keep everything I don't throw everything of course it allows you can't throw so same thing so some people burn it with the comet some people people make they take a team throw it inside burn everything some people they just burn everything you take the week I mean it's too much work to start doing that just starting week by week and burn it and so that's what so so no so don't do that don't the the the you have to lay ahead the Shaymin in the cup not in the book book and the that you can use for other things that's why you can't come and say this bottle is only for my Hinoki I don't do that because then you're doing a condition that this all is designated just for that laughs if you pour the oil in the cup assuming you're doing it that way you put the oil away and you're saying that is the oil for the Mitzvah later on I can use this for cooking but if you come and say this is only for my friend okiya you're gonna have a problem that this oil is designated for the Mitzvah you can keep it for next year but you can use it later on for cooking so that's in anything not only in Hanukah also for Shabbat [Music] can that's what you have to do you understand the question she's asking if she's single and there's no nobody in the home first of all no man to light it and also this is not the concept of advertising the miracle is it better to light it by my son's home the answer is clear and obvious yes you go to somebody else and you light it with your son so he can light the menorah for you and there's also advertising the miracle and you know it's a holiday that you want to join other people even though the midst was to do it in your own home but in some situations then you go to yeah what ripple ha yeah liber - let me keep it but if there's only one person there's no peels to Manisa which time is no one yeah if a man is by himself it doesn't say so you ready without Ibaka or can you go to somebody you get invited but you can't light it with the Baha yeah there is no peaceful Monisha with a baja or without let me let me read we're gonna talk show in the next class about where we're putting it as a decimal there's a microcut in there we're going to talk about that what I wanna know that's when you start lighting it you can answer if you want all over no that's that's that's the time when you can light the menorah from Shia till actually clear they giving a shook that's the timeframe when you're allowed to when you need to light it then this is I'm going to look for it to you that I can read it to you but but that's exactly the thing that you can't hold on for just one second okay you can listen to this okay okay I'll go one Holika back yes Hinata no gotta lick nervous canoecopia some communities they like after scare you shouldn't know God let become a fixator go home in some communities they do it after jessicaho him okay these are two opinions this is one thing now videobut even low heat leak this man had laka yeah holla leak beaver her calls Manchin a veto earring Betty Everett after the fact if he didn't right on time not deliberately deliberately you know allowed to do that this one called Lippincott really not allowed to do that yeah something happened you did not come home on time it's already 8 o'clock in the evening yeah hardly kavaja he will like with the candle calls Mancha benefit over him as long as the people in his house are awake well the hardship may be to you she named after Oh everybody's asleep which means so much more when there's nobody there and there's no pills to Manisa Villa honey lik belieber ha if there's no pills to Manisa he should like without abraha and the source from that is from the Meganium from johanna whoa so it means if the members of the family are asleep and he can't lie with a brother so much more so that he can write if there's no family members there because the whole point is the pills to Manisa now in regards to putting it in the in the window who's gonna answer mentor bah ha so you light the candles some people write it we're going to talk about it in the next few and some people and the light the candles next to the to the to the window for the advertising the miracle but many of the poskim are against that because they say if you now live on the third floor the thing is that the ha'la'tha is and again we're going to continue next issue the menorah cannot be less than three for him which is about this height 24 centimeters and it cannot be above tenth but the highest at the menorquin gold which is that that it will be already Paso is twenty a month this is the highest what a menorah can be which means that if I'm live on the third floor and I'm putting the candles on the window there's no piece to Manisa because nobody goes like that nobody sees it it has to be in I level that's why most of the scheme says you don't light it next to a window you light next to the door because the door is ground level and people are walking in the ground level so once people used to do it because there was a lot of problems they used to do it next to the window but again most of the paquimé says don't let it to the window now the pills to Manisa if you lighting it and you're putting it in the window hey nobody wants a mint over to Baja be what if nobody sees it what if it's one o'clock in the morning I just came home from a war a job I missed the flight whatever so one o'clock in the morning everybody's asleep at home or nobody's at all so I'm trying to outsmart the system and I'm putting into next to the to the window assuming it's old city of it's fat cats does even go in the street so what gives so many cereza so i cannot rely on the fact that maybe somebody will pass and look and be like oh they're for the halacha is pretty clear if the family members are asleep you can say a bracha we understand from that there's so much more so if there's nobody else in the home I once came home very late on Hanukkah and I had to wake up my wife to tell wake up I have to light candles and Halawa is very clear that if there's nobody there I light the candles Madera Baha so you can do you do you you cover no you read you do the Mitzvah but you can say bro huh anything but you but if you can say the brother then you don't say the brother yeah so that's why you either wake up your family member or you invite somebody or you go somebody you you have to work around the situation can't you can't invent things and then let me just read one more thing because it's important she gives man a clock I stole a whole from the moment at the time of candle lighting whether you go by she artistic off of him you can't eat the soup Villa villa so trim the valve and can't do anything but filled with Motorola you can't even light learnt over I'd shared leak till you like the candle they meet trills if I've seek and if you started you have to cook to stop the issue of milk ability she she lives near lock up and even half an hour before that locker you have to be muffler and not do anything eval Billy Muto ha unless meal when it comes to learning to I should not be so particular and you can learn half an hour before the time which means that from Kia you go look at your calendar or you in fact it's 4:31 half an hour before skia and again this to ski the ski bag over here let me show you have to wegobyebye baby show so excuse me well it depends where you are within in spots because of the mountains no because the mountains we go the early one that's why people are in Swat they accept Shabbat earlier when we have visitors here they don't like when we liked safar spot is surrounded with mountains so you can't go by the gova we go by let me show but again each one goes wherever they go there's many fussy Damir that they go by it's a tacacá vein they go by Hibino tom each one goes where would they go and if you want to be particular on the minutes but if you don't it will be particular on the minute you take half an hour before ski up you don't know anything you don't eat you don't learn you don't do nothing you prepare it exactly like Shabbat you don't like candles an hour after Shabbat if you missed the the lighting of the candles that's it you missed what can you do so same thing with Hanukkah it's not less important you make sure that everything is set everything is organized you fry the latkes before you buy this to granny out before he said everything of course that everything is Massoud out so when it's time to write you're ready to write and you're sitting around the candles and you do what you need to do melanda sham we still have chosen thursday to go over two or more hot I actually wanted to go through more the mystical explanation of each Aloha but basalt ocean will do that more on Tuesday and Thursday and what we don't do we'll do next time they choose their Thursday which is still Hanukkah
