S.S.S.S. Parshas Vayeshev on Chanukah

okay we're at parev want to welcome all the new people here tonight besides that tonight we're actually broadcasting live to the road some people uh headed away for shabas a live feed on the audio feed on Telephone we have a live video feed here so getting a little more popular looks right okay again parev invariably is either the shabas before Kaneka Kaneka comes out during this week or it is or it could come out it does come out every once in a while to come out to be shabas khaka also as it did I believe last year and the last couple years we have had a couple of shabas khakas with it's interesting to note that these days if we don't actually try to focus ourselves into what kanaka is it's very easy to forget what kanak is all about the amount I mean as not to knock anybody or anything of course but the amount of commercial uh material that were inundated with the weeks before Kaneka you would think that Kaneka the the I the real part of Kana is a 10% discount and a 25% discount and a a yearly sale or Donuts or lotas or even you know there's a lot of specials and uh you know forget all your troubles go to a 25% share uh sale or something you know but we all know that Kaneka there's a lot more to khaka and there really is a lot to be gained from khaka and what we really have to do is sometimes to block out all the interference and to focus in on what we have to keep our mind on it's 8 days it's not a one day it's eight days and those eight days we intend and we try to grow a little more every day and by the time khaka is over hopefully we're not the same people we were when we came into Kana let me read you a very interesting R the r says the following very very and the ram continues in the same and says that even if you have a person who actually living off he should sell his belongings to buy oil or and he should like the that's the ra so let's right away ask a question on that firstly the ra writes a very special L here by this Mitzvah ofv beloved Mitzvah it's not something we see written very often it's a very special usan that the rambam writes here not only does the rambam write that it's a Mitzvah the ra writes it's not just a beloved Mitzvah it's an extremely beloved so what's what is the r writing that L for and if you also if you take a look where this is written in the r the ra writes this right in the place of the where it's teaching us the of how to light those if you're familiar with the way the r writes things the r this is right in the middle of the of how to light what the is and he writes very interesting way of writing this and another question we can ask is let's go one step further aren't all the Mitzvah shouldn't all the mitv be gave us all the mitv with with and and with a love so why is this Mitzvah stand out as aah so let me tell you over of course I have a special here on brings down a and the says as following from the is written by that the of is a Mitzvah that's unusual in in a certain way there's a cloud that normally the does not go that's uh we won't get into all the ramifications and and things where that comes from but the generally does not go we know the theah is you're right you like you like like that we light on is showing this special that doesn't give up on anybody even though in other times in other places the does not go and we never find is showing that even if you're that low even if during the rest of the year and the rest of your life you've done things that actually unfortunately make you a person that would in quote be but goes there theah is to start and we try to work ourselves we're going to work on ourselves in and try to work ourselves up but is very very special that it can light the way even for those that are holding and with this we could understand and oil that said you cannot light for shabas you are allowed to use them for even if it's chabas whether it's chabas or you can light that normally for shabas you would not be able to like and this could also be a rem that even though like we said a person that's even though something which would normally be too low to light and we wouldn't be allowed to light the sh when it comes to Kan of Kan is so great that it's even reachable that we're able to use even these things and normally the is the tremendous but no regarding this you're able to light able to start at a lower Place saying Ona you're allowed to use it the sa that brings down also and he says like this that theah of another Riot to what we're saying is that the Mitzvah of the Mitzvah is to the what does from the outside could just say that the MIT the light by the door of your house yet when we I'm quoting you it's quoted you light from the outside again that even a person who so to speak again will quote a person who's out the door or out to lunch as We Know right somebody that is out and he would be considered on the outside the is that even a person who is standing outside and the door might even be closed on him but you have you light outside and you're able to come inside it's able to light the way and bring you in and that's why the r says that the MIT not only is it a beloved but we could say the words in a different way we could learn the R by saying that by this mitvah of is showing us how much he loves us that when it comes to even somebody who normally we would not be able to look at him even somebody who normally we wouldn't deal with even somebody who normally wouldn't have normally would not have a we in here on shows us how much he loves us that even even all these things it's able to light way and bring a person back up and bring a person a person back in and from we grow and we try to take a step each day and go up and go and raise our and that's why when say says shabas is why has to give us a reason we say shabas comes first because Shas is an of sh says over there that those days it was dark and that's why sh but that's a reason however has one other advantage that it's has something over shabas that first of all tovah and it also shows us how much loves us and that's a lesson that we have to take out of and when we get through all the commercial things about we have to remember that is telling us how much he loves us and how much we can grow and how much we're able to do when you sit down on at night and you think of what the N was and what what the NES represents and how close wants to come to us I just want to add something to this I happen to I was just thinking about this morning something uh dawned on me so I'm wondering if maybe I could connect what we just said to this week's para like I told you that these two Paras par and are always the weeks of begins between them it could be both or it starts during the week what happened at the beginning of par this week at the beginning of the par y was sold by his brothers and the low point of y's life was in this week's para yosa was sold ultimately he was sold as a slave and ultimately he ended up in jail and this was the low point Y if this week was down and out fast forward to the end of Kana fast forward to next week's para all of a sudden step step step we're going up Y is the second to the king he's the second in command the second to the king of MIT and all this happens during our week of that y who was at the low low point of his life at the low point he's in jail and he's a servant this is but what happens when it comes to the end of Kan when we come to the next shabas when you come to showing us look he was so low he's able to come look what you're able to accomplish if you understand that everything is with and everything that does is for the best and if we just allow to take us and to lead us and we say I'm in your hands I want to serve you I would like the light of Kan to light away from us we could learn that lesson from this week para also that we're able to grow and we do grow and we take advant and in in those eight days we can go from 0 to 60 we can go from the bottom from the top from the all the way up from from the outside of is welcoming us and tell us take advantage of and come back in and that's a lesson we have to learn this week
