Reb ephraim Shapiro on Chanukah MUST WATCH!!!!!!!! #onlytorah

[music] During when we light the minra, we should keep in mind the teaches us for his grandfather was Mlikimo. He would light and illuminate the ways for the ra and for the tibor. Literally the US is teaching us that his grandfather would illuminate the path so that people would be able to see in the darkness and make it from their home to shul etc. My father Shapiro understands the shami with additional meaning as well means that every person sometimes they go through difficult situations. They're going through very trying times, challenges, tribulations. The person's going through a darkness. It's our job to be madim to light up their life to illuminate their heart and their na to do something to reach out to them to show them that we care. Many people going through many vicissitudes in life indeed feel a darkness is a time that we remind ourselves we have to be madim [clears throat] illuminate light up be there for a fellow person and then we too tap into malus into royalty in fact we know that by the makos by the Kazal tell us putting aside that from the first nine the mosturial was why in the earlier mak the mit had larger life to human to animal life. So what pretel makes the worst of all the makus the mostials used to say so powerfully you're right in the earlier mak they had greater losses the mit they did but in it says means we were alone in the earlier mak they had each other a shoulder to cry on someone to commiserate with someone to wipe away a tear But by means that we were going through the situation. They were alone. They were going through it alone. And he used to explain darkness. To feel that you're going through something alone. That's the most miserable feeling. And that he said is what makes the worst of all the is a time that when we're madim we're removing the we're removing by reaching out and being the one another removing the and replacing it with that beautiful beautiful light. I must share with you that my father's atal would explain two words nama and nama surprisingly the same four letters the nudis are almost identical yet nama is the very essence of soul and life and nama void and desolate. How could it be the same four letters almost identical nudis opposite [clears throat] meanings? He explains so beautifully the difference between the shin of nishama and nama. One has a pak and one as a kat. A pak is a line across like this. How does one turn that into a kat? By adding underneath a little support. And when you add a little support, you create people who feel that they have no support. people who feel that no one's giving them it's it's literally they feel but when you add a little support when you're there to give a bit of you turn it from into you help the person feel that you remove the and that like the grandfather of is indeed what we're doing we're being madikler We're illuminating, we're giving, we're creating an isma one for another. And when we support daily and when we give to each other specifically of that's the greatest form of brings that may we through the to illuminate the in each and every and through the to mashiach. >> [music]
