okay brooklyn
welcome everyone i want to give this
shirt as um
as a part two of last night's cheer that
we called
the great cover cover-up why this story
of hanukkah was hidden from the jewish
people just in connection to the
fact that we mentioned that why is it
called hanukkah so the iran says it's
called chanaka
because
that's the well-known reason that
kalisto rested on the 25th day of kiss
life that is the explanation of iran the
marsha
shambas it's number 11 on your sheets
the marshall questions iran marshall
says how could it be called hanukkah
because they rested on the 25th rested
implies that a cessation of malachi
stopping to do melaka we don't stop to
do
it's
so you can't say it's called hanukkah
because they rested on the 25th they
didn't rest they may be commemorated or
celebrated but rest would not be the
correct galactic terminology and
therefore the marshawn
says that the reason why it's called
chanukah
is chanukah is the language of
inauguration what was inaugurated
what was inaugurated was
as we mentioned the german availability
says
that
in the
the command of his own basement base
number nine on your sheets that in the
north
eastern chamber lishka of the bayside
mikdash the gunzu base kashmir noise
and buried the stones of the masbath
that were worshipped as a czar we
mentioned
between the hamura and the muhammad
the jews who were hellenized they were
the ones who disgraced and were
meshacked the mizvah the ramban learners
know the jews that the were
through the process of
but be it as it may the mizbayach
actually was desecrated the mosaic was
vandalized was worshipped as
arab and therefore they needed to
inaugurate a new mizbaya the reason why
it's called chanaka says marsha
is based on this gemara in avadazar they
needed to build a new mezbah and
therefore it's called chanaka and
commemoration of the inauguration of the
mizbaya says marsha this fits well into
what the matters tells us that really
when they constructed the mishkan the
michigan was completed on cafe kislev
but they did not have the hakama
samishkan on kafe kisleif
waited until reshade nissan and hashem
said to
don't worry i'll pay you back with
hanukkah
and that also fits into this idea that
the hanukkah is the time of the
inauguration of interesting the arzarua
of yitzhak medina
says likewise that it's called hanukkah
because uh in memory in commemoration of
the chanukah
in fact we know that tell us that why is
there a connection between parashat nasa
in the beginning of
and hazal tell us that sheila levy was
upset that he did not have a share in
inaugurating the
mizbayach with carbonois so hashem said
don't worry i'll give you something even
greater shall god allah
question is but he wanted to share in
the mizbayach he wanted to share the car
bonus what does hanukkah have to do with
the mizvah the answer is it has
everything to do with mizbeh hanukkah
was the inauguration of the mesbah which
happened through the kashmir
who they had to bury the old mizbayaf
and create a brand new mizbayah
so just on this note i want to just
share with you two ideas
and that is
number
was apt to have said
to say
that this is the reason why there is a
tremendous mitzvah
to eat jelly doughnuts
on hanukkah you
however you want to pronounce it
and why is there a mitsubishi dance well
because if we would just wash and eat on
chanaka then we would say rake
but we're missing the main thing we're
not davening for the restoration of the
mizbaya
because the primary
vandalism of the evanim was
they vandalized them as baya therefore
we go out of our way we're moisture
nephesh
with the kadesh
by eating jelly doughnuts this way we
could say in allama
for the restoration of the mizvah says
on this note
just want to share with you so why taka
is it
that
we only dive in for the restoration of
we say hashem rebuild you shalom so we
could bless you with sanctity and purity
we don't say that in brexit
so if you look in your sheets in number
fourteen there's the safer avni shayam
from
and he says the following
the kumara tells us at the end of saita
submission at the end of sayta that from
the day the vasa make this was destroyed
fruits just don't taste the way they
used to you know you come home your kids
come home
and they're starving mommy i'm starving
daddy i'm starving tati i'm starving
so
what do you do
you cut up apples for them they look at
you like what plants did you fall from
apples what what are you supposed to do
with apples cut up oranges
carrots they say well you know are you
from outer space kids don't eat nobody
nobody eats fruits anymore
kids want to eat junk
even adults many adults they they don't
even know what fruit is you know why
because from the day the base of mikdash
was destroyed fruits the taste of fruits
and the aroma of fruits has been taken
away
and the gemara says
rip shimon allah says daphne
the taste and the smell of fruits
in other words says rashi the more
tahara a jew is the more he is able to
appreciate the subtlety
of the richness of taste of fruits
it's really not that the fruits have
descended that we have been downgraded
we're not great enough to appreciate the
taste of fruits anymore there's a
connection between the sanctity and
purity of a jew
and the ability to eat fruits
in fact the gemara continues
that
rafuna found
a creamy date
we don't even know what a creamy date
well we don't even know what that means
he found the creamy date he took it he
wrapped it up rather the son came he
said i smell the cream of the date not
that i smell the cream of the seven
layer cake or the donut i smell the
cream of the date
and he said um
because you're a tahar so we see from
here
that the best gave a certain sanctity
and purity to the world and to the jew
to be able to appreciate fruits and
upgraded fruits
and therefore
in allah
when
we're thanking hashem for fruits we're
saying bring us back to shalom so we
could make abraham it because
because kadusan tara is needed to
appreciate fruits to appreciate the
value and the taste and the aroma and
the fragrance and the experience of the
fruit
now even though the mishna says that
from the day the day mikdash was
destroyed the taste of fruit was
nullified but really says the adnai
shayam what it refers to as when the
when the mizbayach was destroyed that's
when fruits were downgraded and there
are many riots to this one is there's a
gumara in
that says
from the time the base was destroyed the
taste of fruit was nullified it means
from the time
was destroyed the taste of fruit was
nullified so interesting
why
because when you were maybe
when you brought bikuram you had to
bring the quran before them so that
mitzvah bringing them the quran before
the muslim elevated the fruits would
sanctify the fruits with an attire of
the fruits and therefore al-amir which
is primarily alha peroys
that's why we darwin specifically in
alameda for the restoration of the
mizbayach for the restoration of because
this way the miss bath is what elevates
and engenders the kedusa in the fruit
and that's why we specifically mentioned
since
the ability to appreciate fruits needs
kadusa bhattara that's why we say in
varaka
of tahara one more thought just one more
question for um for your consumption i
want to share with you the question of
some soy from
that
is a very interesting question
so i'm sorry for says says
number 15 on your sheets
that the way where
the following question
if according to the marshal
is a commemoration of the inauguration
of
when did they inaugurate them israel
if they inaugurate them as math on the
25th day of kiss slave that means the
first time they let the menira
was that evening on the 26th if that's
the case then we shouldn't start lying
them another until the 26th day of kiss
life
lmi they inaugurated back on the 24th
day of kiss slaves so the first lion
guard was the night of the 25th
then the 24th day of kiss slave should
be a day
of no no no has paid them because that's
the first day the inauguration is
if the inauguration is back on the 25th
then they the first line in the minority
should be the 26th if they inaugurate
themselves on the 24th then the 24th
should be a quasi-yamtha without
haspadimantinus
so i just want to share with you the
final thought the shots of chuba shaved
out levy felix allison and kuff
says he never understood this question
of some software
why because
the khalal
if they first entered the vasamiktas on
the 25th
do you think
that that very day they inaugurated them
as bayath right the gemara says
it took time for them to inaugurate them
it just means that's when they entered
the base hamikdash to begin the process
of inaugurating likely it took a while
for them to bring to to
fix them as they have to begin with
and says the shame of the lady hashem
opened up my eyes that actually if you
look in the eyes of
the arzarua says why do we light the
menard for eight days because for eight
days they were so busy fixing the
mizbeach
and rectifying them as vaac hashem made
a miracle that they shouldn't have to be
busy with the menorah so the menorah
just lived for eight days this way they
would have time to reconstruct them as
maya
so we see from the zarua that actually
they didn't rebuild them
as back immediately actually took many
many days
so in other words the first day they
take it did not have him as baya but
they led the menard says asheville levy
we don't find anywhere that in order to
light the menorah you need to bring
carbonars in the morning and evening
and says asheville if you want to know
exactly when they let them know for the
first time they probably lit it the
first time
on the 25th towards evening
but since the miracle happened at the
end of the day
so retroactively it shows that that day
had a certain sanctity and kedusha to it
so similar to when adam come at the end
of the day to test out that the new moon
then retroactively the beginning of the
day was already reshaded and already the
25th day of kisly was a day of nitsakain
but this is all going with the idea
about the significance of hanukkah being
connected to the mizbayach the mizbayach
which was
mashukats from the ivanim that we
inaugurated we dedicated on chanukah and
that's why we have the wonderful mitzvah
of eating jelly doughnuts and we're
mispal-el
