hi my name is arie berkowitz afraid everyone here that is joining us tonight thank you for hazak thank you for torah any times and for all other amazing organizations they put in so many hours to make people more aware about hashem's greatness tonight is chanukah chanukah is all about gratitude to thank hashem a lot of people are asking which day of chanukah what is chanukah what is the biggest thing about chanukah i will tell you something nice is a total of 408 the self is 400 aleph is 1 is 401 and then you take the zion that's another 7 together it's 408. thanking hashem where do we say it by davening we start min the whole shabbas is about thanking hashem hashem created the world because of the days of the week and the whole reason why he created the six days of the week is for the seventh day seventh day is shabbos we say it every shabbos mismo is that the shabbos is all about thanking hashem so hashem created the whole world because of shadows when we come and shul friday night the first seven words that everyone is saying is i want to tell you something interesting that i was thinking the words hoy dilashem are 7 words and 24 letters what this is teaching us is that we should thank hashem 24 7. what came to my mind afterwards is nothing short of mind-boggling i opened the city the next day by benching and i see it says a person that is doing the first 24 7 which is hashem is giving you and return mr kennedy hashem is saying i will give you all the best i will give you [Music] which is also 24 7 or like i said before if you thank hashem 24 7 hashem will give you parnosa also yet when you thank hashem 24 7 hashem will give you all your life one thing shall run after you and that is toif only good should come together with you now chanukah the word zoice is 408. the words hoidi lashan ki toifilla comes out also to 408 so the biggest day of a person who's thanking hashem hashem is giving you their fears you have everything but the biggest day at hanukkah is zois chanaken and the reason why we call it because zoys means this is when you thank hashem 24 7 this is hanukkah and if you do so you will have an amazing life thank you
