Chanuka and Sukkos: The Shechina is With Us - Rabbi Ari Waxman

to you and your families we know that there's a well-known idea that speaks about a connection between three yamim tovim The Horizon and three durabanan days and that connection is explained as the connection between shavuis and Purim is the day of cabal and Purim had we re-accept from a real genuine want to accept the Torah on Purim then we have a connection between sukis and Hanukkah we'll get to that in a second and third connection between pesach and the future holiday of tishov Tish above will be turned around as a day of simcha at the time of the future we have pesacharium and the future when Tish above is turned around going back to sokus the connection between sukis and Hanukkah they are both eight days eight days that we say the whole Hollow that's mentioned in the and in addition to that we have the gemara and Chavez that speaks about the clear connection between chanukkah and sukis what is this idea so an idea we'll mention right now briefly is that what sukis expresses expressing his warmth around us the security that he provides and that is something that we see in the neros Hanukkah as well the candles that we are lighting are a continuation of the lighting of the menorah of Aaron the famous ramban at the beginning of parashas speaks about the fact that the BET hash monai will continue to light the menorah and Amisa will continue to light the menorah for forever and therefore our own should be comforted our country says in other words when we're lighting the Hanukkah candles we are showing the eternal light that light that was seen clearly in the mishkan and then the base amigdush and bezat Hashem will be restored as igmar Bashir mismar and this is expressed in sukkah again the warmth of the Suka sukis and therefore it's on tests above anti the day that as the Quran explains the day that the anonym we started to build a mishkan on tests of tishre and the major says that the the mishkan was finished so full cycle the mishkan expresses that shrina that is forever [Music] tells USA no matter what it always has a shame the status of meaning teaching us that our College Park is always with us even at times even if the omoid has to go into canizza it's not seen clearly but right now just as now Hanukkah is in the middle of the winter the darkest time the long nights sometimes we don't see clearly and we have this opportunity of clarity and warmth of the Nero's Hanukkah to remind us is always with us to see this on a level of revealed good with the base being rebuilt very very soon the minora the neros of the menorah being lit once again [Music]
