Chanukah: A Favorite Jewish Holiday

what do we all celebrate on kanuka do we celebrate secularism do we celebrate Zionism Socialism or any otherism no the exact opposite we celebrate the Torah in approximately a week we're going to celebrate one of the favorite holidays among all Jews including the non-religious Jews including the atheist Jews what holiday kanuka kanuka everyone knows part of the story the Greeks tried to destroy us spiritually turn all of the Jews into Idol worshippers they didn't care about killing us physically they only cared about killing us spiritually and they succeeded to a certain extent until the mbes declared war on them who are these mbis how many millions of them were there there was no Millions there was no 100 thousands there wasn't even 20 a few mabes small little family all Torah Scholars never picked up a sword I'd be surprised if they picked up a knife to eat food they declared war against the strongest army in the world much more power powerful than what America or China is in the world today these Tor Scholars went to war against the Greeks in the name of God and won the war there wasn't special weapons wasn't negotiations there was only doing the will of God go to war in the name of God if you're going to war for the honor of my name hasem says you already won as the Torah says in the book of Exodus chapter 14 verse 14 God will fight your Wars and you shall remain silent what do we all celebrate on kanuka do we celebrate secularism do we celebrate Zionism social ISM or any otherism no the exact opposite we celebrate the Tor because the only reason why is exist in the world today is because of this small group of Torah Scholars that decided to become warriors with a sword they didn't even know how to hold and some of them the mid says it was too heavy for them why because he decided to go fight the war in honor of God and destroyed the most powerful Army on planet Earth at the time the Greek Empire wasn't the Greek Greece of today where everything is white on a beach this Greek Empire was was located in Syria how do we beat them simple decided who went the war the battle against was won because of a young woman named y little girl Jewish took chopped off his head I'm is won the war why hasem decides who wins the war the battles of gon the battles of Amel across all spectrums throughout all of our history have only been one because decided they were going to win not because we had armies not because we had ballistic missiles one of the greatest proofs is the fact that we've been in the exile for 2,000 years tortured and murdered by every hosting nation that hosted us for a period of time before they decided to murder us everyone went to war against us but without an army we outlived every one of those Nations despite the Holocaust we are here and there not but there were times that we lost like in the Holocaust look in the Spanish Inquisition look in other pograms why because God decided we needed to lose in order to do Chua in order to fix ourselves and realize who's the reason of why we won every other War before it when people ask where was God during the Holocaust or where was God during October 7th or what was God during every other Jewish TR tragedy he was there he was the one that allowed it to happen because that's the message we needed to hear that's the message we needed to live through that's the message that we needed to take advantage of in order to do chuva and realize that the only way we could ever win needless to say the only way we continue surviving is if a allows it now why do many of the Jewish people still believe in the army or the politics or the money or the influence out there it's because they're distant from God they're distant from the truth now although there is certainly a use and a need for soldiers and we appreciate the soldiers and value them and all their efforts and how they are willing to sacrifice their life to defend their brothers and sisters the reality is that the only way they could win is if allows it how do we get to allow it do the same thing that worked for us every other time we won the war whether it's at the time of RAM the 12 tribes mhu Yeshua gon the mabes serve a do Chua keep Shabbat family Purity K be honest in business fulfill the entire tah run away from heresy idolatry and all types of things that are from the ideology of asav because even though isav he's your brother he's still your enemy and that's why said to save me from my brother save me from as save me from my brother save me from why he saving for my brother from is because when he's is I know how to deal with him all I got to do is give him some money give him some bribes that I can deal with you already gave me the blessings to do that but when he's pretends to be my brother and therefore he'll come over whenever he wants he'll visit whenever he wants he'll show up at the synagogue whenever he wants he has an open door policy even during the Corona virus where everybody was not even allowed to leave their houses somehow the government of Israel allowed several airplanes full of Christian missionaries to enter Israel to do their idol worship missionary stuff and influence Amad to become Idol worshippers people were not allowed to leave the house but somehow ples full of missionaries were allowed to enter Israel without any restrictions why because the government of Israel is not a Jewish government it's a government of AD it's a government of amalik it's a government of and if you have faith in anything but you're simply living a lie you're living a lie if you want to help the war you have to help the world of tah you have to publicize the tah you have to DOA you have to help other Jews do chuva the more Jews do chuv the more the Torah is publicized the more the name of a is publicized that influences to the more you are empowering our brothers that are fighting in this war and giving them the ability to win the only weapon that will win this war is a everything else is simply a figment of your imagination if you're spending more than a minute a day following the news as if you can change it whether you're following the weather systems and the tragic uh earthquakes in different parts of the world or the government uh defaults or you're following the uh different weapons or the threats from different countries or the political stance of some new politician no one ever heard of or even the old ones that forgot what they said yesterday today you're simply wasting your time and you're actually betraying you're betraying your brothers and sisters the Jewish people why because you watching the news you sharing the news is not going to make even a single Jew do CH instead of that you should be reading instead of that you should be learning a instead of that you should be publicizing the Torah and don't tell me I'm doing this and this no such thing as you're doing this and this and there's nothing else but don't waste your time don't waste your time with anything but serving a whether it's by praying learning tah or by sharing the T that's the only job that you could do right now to help am win everything else is a lie hopefully this will influence many of you to narrow your focus on what's the truth distance your way your your your lives from lies and help win the war [Music] I
