Chanukah and Yosef

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay good evening gentlemen happy Hanukkah to everyone okay so we're going to try to examine a number of very interesting items that are relevant to Hanukkah relevant uh this week's parisha and a number of the parachutes that we've been reading and we begin with the gemara the gemara tells us number one on your sheets that if you look into hilim in chapter 22 it starts off like this it says by the conductor the Morning Star we have a tradition that chapter 22 of tahillim refers to Esther refers to Esther and the gemara wants to know why is Esther compared to the Morning Star why is it Esther compared to the morning star look at number one amaraviasi La manimshawa Esther why is Esther compared to the morning just like the morning is the end of the night the Morning Star is the end of the night after Esther so call hanison the Esther the miracle of Purim is the end of all miracles okay just like right when you wake up in the morning of Miracles Purim is the end of all the Miracles okay just like you know it's dark outside and then you see a little bit the morning star that's the end of the night so to Esther the miracle of Purim is the end of all miracles a little bit difficult to understand is that true Esther is the end of all miracles when did the miracle of Purim take place the end of the first space Summit the end of the first I'm sorry in between the first base and the second base to make this we know the first base to make their stood for 410 years there is a 70-year Exile where the Jews were exiled to Babylonia to Babel and then the second temple stood for 420 years the miracle of Purim took place in the 70 years between vius richon and bayashani the first temple on the second temple Purim was the last miracle there's one miracle in particular that we're celebrating tonight that happened after Purim what's that um Hanukkah happened in the time of the second base for them happened in between the first baseman the second base something like this how could the gemara say that Esther is compared to the morning because just like the morning is the end of the night Esther is the end of all miracles Esther is not the end of all miracles Hanukkah came after Purim Hanukkah was a miracle right they had they found one flask of oil enough for one day and it lived for eight days so that was a miracle and that took place after Purim so how could the gumara tell us that Purim that Esther is the end of all miracles okay that's question number one question number two the word Hanukkah what does Hanukkah mean dedication dedication inauguration you know what inauguration means chanukkah inauguration means you know you you build a new shul so you want to make a ceremony to you know kick it off in the right nice way to start it off to inaugurate it okay that's the verb right so the word Hanukkah means to inaugurate and we're accustomed to thinking that means that when the Greeks came into the basement they defiled it they defiled all the oil they defiled all the vessels and the ways to make their state they defiled them as bayach the Altar and then came back and they inaugurated it they started it up again but there's actually another reason why Hanukkah is called Hanukkah take a look at number two number two is a comment by one of the we shown him when we've shown him from uh he lived in he was born in in Spain he was a talmud of the rashba and he wrote a commentary on hummus um and his name is and since it was published it has been published and reprinted more than 20 times and 10 more than 10 commentaries have been written just on this one commentary okay is commentary 10 commentaries have been written on this commentary some sopher writes some software you would say that for 40 years every Friday night he would learn the commentary of the Parsha and every time he learns that he discovered new insights into Robin listen to what he says this concept we need to think in the name of these days which is called Hanukkah the root of the word is to inaugurate the house by the way guys you ever see this font of Hebrew you ever see this uh if you look at number two it's the Writ it's Hebrew but it's a it's a different kind of print it's called rashik Sav I actually print okay so it's actually uh it's a different just a different font foreign what's he saying he's saying like this you know why the holiday of Hanukkah is called Hanukkah because we're inaugurating what are we inaugurating so we always thought they inaugurated the second base of Hanukkah is inaugurating the third base now gentlemen has a third base something that's been built yet no but what Robin is saying that Hanukkah inaugurates and ushers in and brings in the time of mashiach very interesting what does Hanukkah have to do with mashiach every year we light the candles tonight's the eighth night every year on the eighth night we light eight candles the seventh night we light seven candles how is Hanukkah an inauguration of the Temple of the future based on mcdosh what does it have to do with the base of miktas what does Hanukkah have to do with ushering in the time of mashiach okay so that's question number two what we see from is the word chanukkah which means inauguration has something to do with it brings in the time of mashiach it has some connection to mashiach what does it have to do with mishina number three number three we know on Hanukkah we say in Amazon we say in essay we add a prayer to this way what do we add to this one esre we add let me ask you what if you uh you said Amazon you said benching and you realize you forgot alanison what do you do now if you've already completed the benching you don't have to say it over just because you missed the alanisi you might have stayed over however if you're already up you know at the end of Amazon you say a whole bunch of harakamans you say Hara come on a whole bunch of if you realize you forgot allanism you can make it up the Rama tells us by adding in you know what you say come on you open up your sitter you look at the end of benching there's a insert you forgot alanison you could say harakamanu Nissan that is the opinion of Rama Rama Ramos who is the foundation of ashkenaza but this is uh agreed upon that if you forget alanisim you could make it up with this Fila but think about what that Fila is the merciful one who yes he should do with us Miracles like you did to our forefathers there are many posts Kim who argue on the Salah who disagree with the Salah you know why how do we have a right to ask Hashem to make a miracle for us we know that if you ask God to make a miracle for you and he performs a miracle it deducts from your mitzvos it comes off your account in other words you know your person has a bank account you know they're two you have a bank account with money whatever in Citibank and chase you also have a spiritual bank account you have so if God is going to have to change nature for you it comes at a cost and if you're going to ask God to make a miracle for you it's going to be deducted from your spiritual bank account where do we know this from we know this from the gamara tells us that if somebody's wife is pregnant and the baby is already 40 days old the child's already 40 days old in its mother's womb you're not allowed to Daven Hashem please uh make it a boy why because the gender has already been determined after 40 days the gender has been determined you can pray for a God to make it a boy so the mass what do you mean didn't Leia remember we learned uh two weeks ago didn't Leia after she realized she was having a boy she's diving it should be a girl so we see that God could change things so tomorrow says no we don't have him for miracles you're not supposed to happen for miracles we don't diving for miracles and therefore many posts can say that if you forget alanisim you're not allowed to make it off by asking Hashem God let the merciful one let him do miracles for us like he did with our forefathers in those days however what do we do we pass in that someone who did forget alanisim he does say this he does says we do say this Fila so the question is how do we have a right to say this trima but you're not allowed to ask God for a miracle it's not proper because if he makes the miracle it comes at a cost okay that is number question number three question number four anybody here have a sudaka box at home where if you lose something you know you put money in it and you say a special prayer you ever hear that you ever hear this kind of sadaka box it's called Uh uh mayor Balinese right where it has a little formula little Fila if you lose something what do you say the mayor anemi the god of Mayor should answer me what is this all about Kamara tells us that mayor he had his uh little formula that whenever he got into trouble he would just say the god of Mayor answer me and the question is that God never Associates his name with anyone even with someone who's righteous while they're still alive because so long as a person is alive even if they're the biggest static in the world even the biggest talmud hakum even the biggest static even if it doesn't matter even the biggest static there's always an opportunity that he could he could Veer off and go off track in his last day we know we know instances of the greatest Sadiq in the greatest that at the end of their life you know they had a few days left they became resham so God never Associates his name with Sadiq mother still alive why do we say like avraham avraham's not alive anymore why do we say like hey it's not alive anymore why do we say like hey Yakov because yaakov's not alive anymore in fact when Yitzhak was alive we didn't say l okay what it was said the dread of yes but so long as Sadiq are alive God does not associate his name with the righteous because they may go up they may Veer off and the question therefore is that he wanted to know rebe Mayer whenever he was in trouble he would say de mayor anini let the god of Mayor answer me how is he allowed to say Allah called the mayor the god of mayor he's still alive God doesn't associate his name with the righteous while they're still alive even Yitzhak even our forefather yitzclock while he was alive we didn't say hello okay yes clock we didn't associate God's name with yusuke we said so therefore how is Romeo allowed to say this okay says the martial you ever see this tadaka you ever see this snuck away right you get in the mail they send it to you right it's a school to find the lost object huh how is ramir allowed to say while he was still alive what do you mean he's still alive you can't God will not associate his name with you while you're still alive says them are shot one of the great commentaries on the gamara listen to what the Marcel says when Ramirez he wasn't talking about himself you know what he was talking about Ella the god the mayor lanu that illuminated for us when in the at the time of the miracle of Hanukkah he should help us out yeah he didn't mean the god of me my God should help us out you know you know it wasn't his own God he wasn't referring to them to Mayor his name and look in the Marshall if you look number four three lines from the bottom three lines on the bottom toward the end of the line four lines from the end of four words to the end of the line oh no or he meant to say The God Who illuminated for us during the reign of the Dominion of yavan of the Greeks through the miracle of the candles of Hanukkah in other words you know what Ramirez was saying not my God should answer me The God Who illuminated our lives in the miracle of Hanukkah he should help us out very interesting why would a mayor specifically invoke the miracle of Hanukkah here Ramirez in trouble let him say The God Who took us out of the Triumph let us let him help us The God Who uh split the sea let him help us the God who gave us the Torah will let him help us The God Who helped us and in times of Purim let him help us why is it of Mayor specifically invoking the miracle of chanukkah the miracle of Hanukkah The God Who helped us out on the times of Hanukkah in the time of the Greeks let him let him help us why what was the mayor's specific connection with Hanukkah that he's invoking the Miracles of Hanukkah God who miraculously wrote us success in the times of Hanukkah should help us out okay just to go back well just to review quickly some of our questions number one again the gemara tells us that Esther that Purim was the last of all the Miracles and the question we asked were it's not true Purim is not the last of all the Miracles sanuka came after Purim how could the gemara tell us that the last miracle is a miracle of Purim number two we wanted to know also which means to inaugurate inaugurates the times of mashiach it's not an inauguration of the second base of it's an inauguration of the yamosa mashiach how are we inaugurating mashiach by uh you know eating jelly donuts how does that inaugurate meshia you know so these are some questions we have to deal with another issue take a look at number five one of the greatest Sephardic Dolan was somebody by the name of Rabbi avrohem Sabah now the rum Saba was exiled from Spain in 1492. he had a very tragic life and his commentary of the Torah was lost and he had a rewrite it from memory and he reveals to us a brand new meaning of the word Hanukkah okay I'm pretty sure this is something that will come as news to most people a new explanation for the name Hanukkah okay let's just see how he introduces that take a look at number five he gives us a very nice introduction okay what's that's what's inside here a young man I the young man avraham Saba my name is avraham Saba not my name my name is Daniel glancy he's talking I'm just joking he wants I want to reveal to you over here that which has been revealed to me okay so this is big news here he's telling you I'm about to reveal to you something that has been revealed to me please say fair I didn't see I didn't read it in any book okay he didn't read this in any book uvulima lab made no one taught this to me um Laura isi I never saw it below shamati pirish tavnisa I never heard it before okay you ready for this one he never heard this from anyone no one ever taught it to him no rebby ever showed this to him a brand new reason he thought of on his own okay and he goes on to say why should it be called Hanukkah so what did we learn and when we were growing up in Yeshiva why was it called chanukkah what did we learn in Day School in they rested on the 25th day of Kiss life but there are a couple problems with that first of all then it should be called Khan you know what happened if it's you know why is it called Hanukkah plus according to many we've shown in the ran and the Mii we say they did not rest from their enemies on the 25th day of Kiss slave they rested on the 24th day of kislave so that really uh makes that answer a little bit hard to understand okay so what we're about to say is something that very incredible very special says take a look in the second paragraph and we're going to one two three four five okay we're gonna read from five lines into the second paragraph I'm just gonna give you a quick introduction and that is a Jew has an obligation to learn Torah how often once a year once again every day every day whenever you have an opportunity what if what if you're being persecuted what if you really have no time you have no available time the goyama running after you they're chasing after you what could you do to fulfill your application of learning Torah in in something something very short the first paragraph of Shema what if you don't even have time for that the first verse of Shema Shema Israel Hashem Hashem how many letters in that first pasok hey 25 letters because of the persecution because the Greeks came to destroy the Torah and make us forget the Torah we had no opportunity to learn and to study Torah so what would they do when they needed to fight their enemies they were victorious through the 25 letters of Shema Israel Hashem Hashem okay that's how they won their battles the reason why it's called Hanukkah is because we're Victorious with the power of Shema okay the 25 letters of Shema take a look in the second and number five the second paragraph five lines in because of their abundant troubles they were not able to engage in learning Torah Israel they would unify hashem's name with the name of Shema Israel how many letters 25 letters and with the power of unifying Hashem with these 25 letters they were victorious of their enemies you want to know why it's called Hanukkah they were victorious they rested through the power of Shema okay a brand new reason a brand new reason you hear good stuff right there's a new reason for Hanukkah something to do with Shema they well you know they had all these they had these the the against thousands of Greeks you know Shema Israel that's the end of the enemy that's the end of the enemy okay take a look what he says that's why they called the name of this holiday Hanukkah that's why there's no base in Hanukkah it's not because they rested on the 25th it's khanu with the 25 letters of Shema by the way it was through the force of hashem's name the full name of God the mystical name of God has how many letters 72 letters good numerical value of 72. it's also the Russia tables of but again what we're seeing here very concisely is that beat their enemies with what the power of Cafe the power of Shema good good let me ask you a question let's see if we could uncover the secret a little bit how was the power of Shema why was that the force that they used to overcome the Greeks why what was special about the Shema that allowed them to overcome their enemies by the way if you look and say for devarim the general of the Jewish Army before the Jews would go to battle he would say Shema Israel why he was telling them how she says if you're only Israel that's enough to destroy your enemies so we see that Shema Ismail has a special force to destroy your enemies especially when it comes to this war against the Greeks and what let's investigate one more thing before we uh try to explain some of these items take a look in paragmam gimmel plastic tezai and last week's Parsha parik Nam gimmel pastic design okay this is the reunion of the brothers together with Yosef for the very first time okay Yosef sees his brother Benjamin for the very first time with them and he says to the one who is appointed over his house bring these men into the house I want you to slaughter a slaughtering meaning prepare some good meat some steak you know some juicy steak some good food and prepare it okay look at these three words page 242. take a look at it pasok test Zion okay perfect okay one more time with them so he said to the one who's appointed over his house bring the men to the house slaughter a slaughtering and preparing okay hold on to those three words now we're going to discuss a halacha is there a Mitzvah to have a sudan Hanukkah according to most halachic authorities no there's no Mitzvah to have a sudan Khan and Purim Purim was enacted was was enacted to enjoy yourself physically Kanika was established to praise Hashem to thank Hashem however there are some reason namely the rambam that says there's a mitzo to have a sudan chanukkah and not only is there is a hint in the Torah to have a sudan Hanukkah where's the hint foreign okay take the crest from the word with Hanukkah none hey Hanukkah this is a hint in the Torah there's a Mitzvah on Hanukkah Plus if you take the numerical value six test is nine vases eight test is nine base is eight you get 44. how many candles we lie in Hanukkah 44. okay with the shamash 44. not only does the rambam say does if you look at number six the mate Moshe who's one of the primary Disciples of the martial says there's a hint in this pasok to the pseudos that we have on hanukkahins so let's ask ourselves a question if the Torah has to allude to us give us a hint that there's a Mitzvah to have a sudan Hanukkah why does it allude to it in this this episode did not happen on Hanukkah Joseph was not reunited with his brothers on Hanukkah so why allude to the midst of having a sudan Hanukkah in this possum okay so what we're going to try to do now is we're going to try to establish a connection okay between the Jewish Warriors who fought against the Greeks and the 12 tribes and the twelves okay what is the connection anybody know how many were there we always thought five we always thought five we learned five yoganan had five Sons Rashi and Hamish in a very unknown Rashi tells us not now she tells us there were 12. and Allah Allah and twelve take a look at number seven at the end of moshrabenu's the end of the life of davins he prays to give power to the army of Shiva Levy the army of civil is not an army there are Torah teachers shave it lady says Rashi when did shave and Levy ever go out to war the name who were kohanim who came from the tribe of Levy how many were there to take a look at number seven were very few how many were there twelve sons of the Allah and elazar kenned against many tens of thousands against many of tens of thousands so you hear you have it that you know how many there were there were 12 there were 12 kashmiram against many many tens of thousands okay so if you want to know exactly how many against how few tens of thousands against thirteen twelve and one how is it the matters tells us we're going to go through some of these a little bit quickly outside because uh because of time constraints the matters tells us that when the Hashem were forming together their army you know what they said to themselves let's take upon ourselves the symbolism of the 12th of the 12 tribes in other words they understood they understood that they were acting as the twelve shuvatim the 12 tribes okay very nice doesn't really help us that much but it takes us one step further one of the decrees that the Greeks forced upon the Jewish people they said the following hashar right on the Horn of an axis in God okay right on the Horn of an ax why the horn of an ax why the horn of an ax why an ax the ox reminded the Jewish people of a specific sin which sin the sin of aega the calf the golden calf which was a Shard and tell them it's called the shark they were trying to bring out the sin of the calf they're trying to remind us about how low we sunk when we made the golden calf very interestingly when the Jewish people made the golden calf how many calves did we make foreign but yet if you look in the hummus when they when they got this golden calf they took the going the north they said these are your Gods Israel what do you mean these are your Gods I thought it's only one golden calf the gemara tells us in the U xiaomi that when they came time to make the golden calf a fight broke out among the Jewish people shave it Rubin said I think God shouldn't our calf should look like this okay and we're gonna make shave a chip and say no no no no we're not go We're not gonna make a god like that we make this calf until they made 12 calves the usameters they made 12 caps so the sin of the golden calf was compounded and exacerbated by the fact that there was no Unity there was Discord there was a great rift there was all 12 tribes were completely split up and that was one of the elements that the Greeks were trying to bring out they were trying to tell the Jews look what a the look what a uh broken up people you are look how much Discord exists among you look how much hatred there is look how much there is among you remember the golden calf when even when it came time to sinning you guys couldn't get along right even when it came time to forsaken your God you guys couldn't get together in fact in fact we're gonna see that's why they said right on the Horn of an ax you have no share in God in other words they're reminding us of how much Discord existed among the Jews and why were they bringing this up at this time because during which base time mikdash was the miracle of Hanukkah in which during which Temple did the Greeks have domain over the Jewish people what was the main problem with with the Jewish people in times of the second baseman so the Greeks realized the Jews were suffering the costs of hatred among them and they wanted to bring out the fact that historically you look at your Jews now you hate each other you can never get along even when it came time to sinning you couldn't get together but you know what else they were bringing out by saying you have to ride on the Horn of an ox you have no share in God there was somebody else called Ox Shar you're safe they were trying to bring out the sin of the sale of Yosef they were saying you Jews have no hope you know why because you sold your own brother right on the Horn of an ax Yosef is called ashore right on the Horn of an ax you have no share in God in other words they were trying to bring out all the historical incidences when the Jews could not get along here it's a time of the second temple where the Jews were suffering from baseless hatred they're reminding them of the sin of the golden calf which was a time of tremendous Discord even when they wanted a sin they couldn't get together on how to worship idols and they were reminding the Jewish people of the sin of mahiras Yosef the sale of Yosef who is represented by the Shah by the ax now we have a principle okay that whenever God punishes the Jewish people he punishes us a little bit for the sin of the golden calf God said I'll forgive you for the sin of the golden calf but whenever I visit punishment upon you I'm always going to throw in a little bit of the sin of the golden calf I'm going to punish you a little bit for the golden calf but there's also an idea that whenever God punishes us he punishes us for the sale of Yosef okay when does he punish us for the sin of the golden calf when does he punish us for the sale of Yosef if we sin between us and God whenever we see it sin between us and Hashem between us and God he punishes us for the sin of the egal Hashem says once you're sinning between me and you anyway let me throw in a little bit of that sin of the sin of the eega whenever we sin between our friends between man and friends God visits punishment on us for the sale of Yosef okay so what the Greeks were trying to do was you Jews this is the second temple you can't get along now we want to remind you of the sin of the sale of Yosef because since now you guys are fighting and there is Discord and there's a lack of unity you have to realize that God is going to punish you for the sin of Yosef that the 12 Brothers could not get along yes isn't this some of the background that the golden calf actually came about in existence I know the uh Israelites basically melted the gold but that it was The Magicians from Paro who came along with us the they're the ones who created in that shade yes okay and remember how they created it they threw in something from Yosef ale Shore the piece of gold that they threw into the Nile to bring up the coffin of Jose from the Nile they used that to create this golden cap it that has to be worked out how that reconciles with uh the idea that they made 12 12 calves I'm not sure how it does reconcile okay but let's just so the hash monoam how many were there 12. their objective was to come together and sort of Rectify the sin of the Fatima who had so much Discord and selling their brother and their objective was to come together with Actos and unity and sort of Rectify the sin of the sale of Yosef in fact who is the king of the Greeks antiochas the Gematria of antiochas is Yosef the gamachu of melanch is Yosef this was the battle the battle was between the Greeks and the rectification of what the schwatim did for Yosef and how did they try to rectify this by coming together how do they come together in what way do we see they came together tell you very briefly when yaakovina was about to pass away he calls together his sons and he says look ruvenai gave you this blessing because you have these Powers these cojos Shimona give you this blessing lady I gave you this bless I'm afraid that you my children you're so different from each other you'll never be able to come together in unity whereupon all of the sons of yaakov said the following Israel listen yes God he's only one we have one God and if we have one God then ultimately we'll be rallied around one common goal so the Cry of Shema Israel was used by the to unify themselves to unify themselves in fact in this week's parasha how many members of yaakov's household went down to Egypt 70. what does the possock says let me try him shivim let me ask you a question why does it say call Han nephesh singular to says only had six members of his family it says six Souls but uh says Rashi take a look at number 21. right she says what one God very good Ace of descendants they used to each worship their own God they each worship their own God they were separate from each other they were broken up from each other that's why they were nifashos yaakov's family was shivim nephesh why they only had one God if everyone worships and serves one God that is the ultimate rallying call that is the ultimate unifier and that's why when Jacob was about to pass away the way the Tim consoled him and made him feel comfortable that they would all be United and therefore as the Surah tells us when the name went out to war what was the way they demonstrated their actors to rectify the sin of Yosef hey the 25 letters of Shema you soil Hashem that to war with this rallying cry because their objective was to rectify the sin of Yosef the yvonim were assaulting us they kept on reminding us look what are you what a look what a nation of Discord you are you sell your own brother they didn't want us to forget about how we sold our own brother so what did the Hashem do why is it called Hanukkah they rested on how do they rest with the 25 letters of Shema that is what United them by the way it's very interesting historically Hanukkah has been a time of great Discord Between Brothers if you look in the meters to number 14. we know what was the first example of fighting between Brothers cayenne and Heather what day of the year did Cayenne kill haval the meters tells us Cayenne killed on Hanukkah Hanukkah so historically Hanukkah if you look at number 14 the minutes historically Hanukkah has been a time of great Discord separation between Brothers that is why say the matamosha where is there a hint to the sudos we make on Hanukkah and parishes me Cates why take a look again for many many years Joseph has been separated from his brothers and finally he reunites with 10 of them but is still back home but now page 242 plus the club Zion Yosef now you'll see sees his last brother this is the first time he's United with all of his brothers what does he say now it's time for Hanukkah that's where there's a remist the reuniting of the 12 Brothers you want to know where there's a Remus the Hanukkah and the Torah it's when the 12 Brothers after selling Yosef finally are able to reunite the concept according to those posts commercial there's a Mitzvah to have a sudan Hanukkah the idea is that since the Ivana wanted to bring out the sin of selling Yosef and bring out the Discord among the Jewish people by having a sudan Hanukkah by uniting with our friends by uniting with our brothers we're showing for your volume and we're showing ourselves that we've overcome the pettiness that exists between ourselves we're able to unite the same way the twelve Hashem who were symbolically the twelve shwatim were able to unite how do they Unite with what is that's why it's called Cafe they rested with the 25 letters of Shema how many candles do we light on Hanukkah without the shamish okay without the Summers 36 36. why 36 what's the significance of that lucky number 17. the Roque one of the great reasons tells us a lot of the hints and the Torah tells us when God created the light the original light it says God so the light Quito that it was good Kim and God separated it if the light was so good what did he have to separate it for so hazal tell us our sages tell us God saw there was a special light he created it's called the orhaganus the hidden light God so it was too good for the world he put it away for the tadiq him in the times of mashiach how many hours did this light last for before God put it away says the Roque it lasted for 36 hours it lasted for Friday day 12 hours Friday night 12 hours 12 hours 36 hours the world had our God knows the light of mashiach until God put it away for the Sadiq Masai Shabbos the light went away other marisham thought the world was over until he took two stones he rubbed it together he made the first fire that's why monster Chavez and Abdullah what do we say that was the time the first fire was created but the Roque tells us the 36 candles of Hanukkah represent the 36 hours of the orhaganos yeah what does Hanukkah have to do with the oreganos remember at the beginning of the share we said chanukkah which means inauguration what are we inaugurating not the second base what are we inaugurating it's the inauguration of the times of mashiach had we inaugurate the times of mashiach with the 36 candles the 36 candles represent the 36 hours of the arhanganas we're bringing back into this world by lighting the Hanukkah menorah we're bringing back those 36 hours of our haganos we're bringing it back we're ushering in the times of mashiach ah we're inaugurating in meshiach there's only one problem there's a major character flow with the Jewish people there's something preventing Meshach from coming what is it is the time of Actos time of unification like we said where is there a remnest to the Sudan of Hanukkah and the Torah the unification finally of Joseph and his 12 Brothers after the makiras Yosef because if you want Hanukkah to be an inauguration of the third base you want to bring in the 36 hours of the aragonos through the 36 nights we need to rectify that which prevents us from bringing mashiach to the world and what is that just want to add a couple more points just bear with me Noah had three sons Lord their names the office had a son know what his name was yavan he was the father of Greece the plastic says that yavan was the first person to move out into a far away Island to be separate from his brothers until then the rest of mankind always lived together with with the family yavan was the inventor of family they're they're a um they're they're preventing progress family who needs them if we focus on the family we can't accomplish and laugh yavan was the first one with the concept of Discord in the family that's why they were the ones who were constantly bringing out Yosef reminding the Jews how much this court
