Chanuka w Rebbe 1970 - Oil is Faith - The Chabad Approach to Educating Children - Removing Teacher

a good night of shabbos to everyone it's shabbos head of shabbos chanukah not technically out of shop is hanukkah but chanukah is next week so it's appropriate to to think a little bit and talk a little bit about hanukkah and how see the mercedes look at chanukah recently someone sent me a picture of when i was nine years old in tough shin lamit i believe 1970 or 7 or 69 or 70 at the 770 was much smaller and they somehow sent a picture and i saw myself in that picture why am i sharing this with you the rebbe took hanukkah and he made of hanukkah a reality in other words it's not just about lighting a maneuver in your own home it's not just about writing when you're in public which that is credited with that for sure but there ever used chanukah to be merchants jewish children to educate jewish children they're able to give out hanukkah guilt that ever made rallies and he spoke to the children chanuk is associated with adults but with children especially the whole idea of comes from the word genoch to be mohammed to educate we need to educate the children how do you educate children you bring them to bring children together that ever had various campaigns throughout the years of bringing children together together to gather people and children and the freedom but the shemitah shabbos the the the program and also the gathering children together on shabbos the idea of chanukah and approach to to chanukah chanukah is about shemin see this explains this oil oil hovers on the top of water the more water you pour into a cup and there's oil there the oil rises oil represents cycle intelligence knowledge the more knowledge you have the greater your munna is your faith is in other words not only is knowledge an in for itself of an end for itself in the sense that i have knowledge but the knowledge the more knowledge you have your amunda becomes your faith becomes greater that who who spent so much energy on hanukkah it was to build the faith in the ammuna in thailand the whole idea with the ivanim that they wanted they agreed to the rational and intellectual part of yiddishkai of toyota they had a hardship with the faith-oriented mitzvahs like bruce miller on the eighth day and shabbos on the seventh day of the week points to this idea of faith and that ever capitalized on this the kudu then the kuda being the point being that it's the faith the ammuna the shem and the oil that's the real essential miracle of chanukah yeah and that's why we found a jug of oil and a burnt for eight days because it's the amuna tahira the pure sincere faith that keeps the jewish people thriving not just surviving and we know those cultures and those communities that have watered down their munna they slowly dissipate this was an entire sheetah from the balshemptiv through the balatanya del terrebo we celebrated this past week to chanukah that that ever put together a magnificent series talks explanations both in my monument and talks especially in the circus to the point where he shared the same that could at the same point that little children nine ten years old and some say well what did the children did you understand that that point when you were nine ten years old standing there in 770 in 1970 on chanukah it makes no difference this is the expression in the banner it enters it permeates your bones your bones become hasidic it's no longer a physical bone it's a hasidative bone your being becomes permeated with these nakutas of munna later in life it helps you when you're confronted and we're all confronted with various challenges in the my mother of the rabbian and the adaita yo that obey him teach an important lesson and that is that don't waste faith on things that can be understood and should be understood that are knowledgeable are in the misguided in the category of cycle of knowledge and muna is relegated to an experience that go that transcends knowledge where knowledge isn't shy that the language in the my modem is that that that das knowledge is not shy in that realm and that's where emunah kicks in this is a a fundamental teaching for the young that's coming up and practically this emphasizes how important it is to to share with our own families children and grandchildren and community this idea of of educating the youth with ammuna the famous story with the frida kareba and his three daughters when he hired a malamute for them and the malamute said that certain stories and borders he doesn't want to teach them because they won't relate to them they won't understand it and maybe actually they'll think terra is backwards and primitive when the rebel shocked the zeider heard about it he instructed to feed the kadab his son to get rid of the malamate this particular teacher why because the teacher is stripping away the ammunition and if as soon as you strip away you tear away you rip away the ammunita the pure faith it's no longer yiddish kite it's no longer tighter it's an intellectual endeavor and we must know this today it's so much more important today because of the opportunities with social media and communication ways it's so much more important to communicate the right message and what's the right message as we embark on shabbos and when we come to chanukah let us all make a lot of resolution to strengthen and monitor by ourselves and by our children of families and ultimately by the world so that when when a when a person comes to a public madara lighting which does in thousands of places literally and with hashem's help it won't only be ahabad project and program but other eden of all communities will start lighting minorities in public and having understanding that that's for the betterment of yiddish guiding let us not forget the essence of all that which is to build the ammuna to haiti especially by the children i go to shabbos again and chanukah and of course don't forget to give your children grandchildren and other people hanukkah guilt not hanukkah presence chanukah guilt that's our mercedes let the children decide what presents to buy we need to give them hanukkah guilt that habeam gave hanukkah me
