The Hidden Light of Chanukah and The Messiah - Rabbi Moshe Chaim Eade

You saw the kids in Shaw one time say amens. These little kids who go up to the front, they can barely talk and you give them a tiny candy like this >> and you basically if they say an a loud I'm saying you've seen the kids the way they do a wind up they're like this. Oh man, like full energy for this much sugar in a little we hope that when they get older they want to say amen even though nobody's going to give them a taffy. But you're getting people used to something. So is the same thing. Somebody had not seen for a very long time the light of day. They were in a cave somewhere. So you cannot take that person and then bring them into broad daylight. It would be overwhelming for their eyes. You have to go slowly. A little bit more light. A little bit more light. So if the is the teaching for the days of Msiah, it means that every single year we're getting more accustomed. We're getting more light. We're getting more ready for the great days to come. And therefore be very very aware that these days of are coming the mash and the days of Mashiach are coming. And that's going to be the light of the oragonas the great hidden light that we spoke about before took this light from the beginning of creation. and Hashem said, "Let there be light." But this wasn't the sunshine because the sunlight only comes on day four. This is a light that would let people see from one end of the world to the other. It was a light that would let you see into the souls of other human beings. was a light that let you see how beautiful you are. But this light which is very powerful, Hashem hid this light away. Where did he hide it? In the Where did he hide it? The 36 candles of Kanek. And this is the light that had in the garden of Eden for the 36 hours that he was in the garden of Eden. And every single time that we light another candle, this Khan will bring more of that light into the world. This is going to be the light that we will see when Msiah comes. It's going to be such a beautiful light, the Oragan. And this light will let us [clears throat] understand just how great we are and how great every single person is. That's why in Khan, you seem to see people in a very beautiful way. When it comes to the Kaneka candles, you can't use the candles for anything. and the whole purpose of the Khan candles just look into the light can't use the light can't count your money can't count your bitcoin can't nothing that's you have a shamish another candle for that why do you have the light just to look at the light because the light will be teaching you things and the sadikim would sit by their candles for many many hours so wherever you set up your we'll talk another time about Wherever you set it up, make sure it's in a place that you're going to stay by your candles. It's very good to stay by the candles and look into the candles and see the light because the candles are teaching us something. It's being of the great days to come. So, how does the whole story begin? My what is the Gora asks in Shabas? which is also amazing because wherever you find any topic in that it's in must be the headquarters of that topic. So if you find that makes a strong presence in Shabas we know also that Shabas has the gun as well comes out in a big way. So my so they say acute drussia myan means what is my rashi says what is kaneka my khan alan kav on which miracle did we establish but they make a cute druss they say my what's kanek the tan raon the rabbis loan to you want to know what kanaka that was already the usually means and we're going to learn and then get to the answer. So the say that was already the answer. What do you mean by what's learn and yes there's going to be a lot of things a lot of events that are going to be happening. There's a special Yates Sahara on Khan to not be in the basement because the Yates Sahara knows and it works double, triple, quadruple time on Khan because if this is where the oragonas is coming from and the oragonas is being hidden in the toy especially on Kaneka and really the whole of Kaneka should be a time of a lot of learning. He makes it very easy to do anything else but go and sit by the candles and learn the toyra of the meek. That's also there's a lot of in the candles and to sit and listen to your gar try to hear the voice of the oras inside your garb. Is it preferable to learn about >> generally we say something in its appropriate time? Oh, how good is it? that even though yes in the middle of shus there's no problem about speaking about a chauffear and in the middle of sukus it's wonderful to talk about lighting kaneka candles there's something apicious about on the days of kaneka to be learning about kaneka especially so and each one of the days of kaneka have special kavanote and the 13 midot of hashem's rahim open up in a big way this How is it 8? The last day gets gets popping by Zanek and that each day has a special energy that is coming down from shmay. And if you really get into this, you realize that even different parts of the day have special concepts to learn about. There's the morning of the day energy and the afternoon of the day energy and the night time, the early night to pay attention that every time has a special light and energy. So yes, you can learn anything on certainly anything in but to learn about is a very very good thing. So then the garra actually begins the simple explanation that the rabbis taught us on the 25th day of kislave you made some point out that it sounds like that the entire days of kanek are happening on the 25th of kislave and if you see the the way he writes it is that on the 25th of kislave is the eight days of kaneka and the ra comes in there and says begin the eight days. Why did the leave that out? Sounds like the first day of Kaneka has a lot going on. That it's all packed in a little bit like rash that it's all the seed contains the entirety of the creation of the entirety of the tree. It's packed into the DNA. The first day of eight days there's no don't ulogize do not fast during and when the ancient Greeks came into the came into the sanctuary of the Banikto timu kash They made all the all the oil. And when the great mighty Mcabes were and they won, they checked. They could not find any shemen except one. And it had the seal of the seal of the high priest on it. There's only enough for one day. Hashem made a miracle and had it lived for eight days. says to Gomorrah, "The next year, the next year they made these days. They established them days, happy days, good days to say hello and to say thank you." What is interesting about the reading here? I would have thought after the miracle happened, they would have made this a yumptive. Why did they wait till the next year to establish Kaneka as a yam? It says the next year they decided it's going to be a yam. What do you mean? You just saw the miracle. That's question number one. Just make it right now. You just saw a miracle. Question number two, my Khan. What was the question? What is Khan? So Rashi said, "On which nace do we make?" Did we answer that? Is it the oil or is it the victory? Furthermore, question number three. Doesn't it say that they made impure all the oil? So where did they find this? Gar says what it says. They made impure all the oil. So where did this one come from? So my friends, let's open our hearts for a few moments. Ah, Han is coming. You know the light of the Jewish calendar is such is that every one of the days have a special energy to them. And Hashem set up that these days bless you but a very very powerful or very powerful ability to awaken us. And Hashem implanted this into the days of the year from the beginning. And as the generations of the Jewish people would go on, we would reveal that these were days that were waiting to be revealed. That really these were days that were already auspicious for there to be miracle. And certain days were auspicious that they should be made a yumptive. Other days there was just specialness that would come out in them but it would not be for all the generations. So on that first year where they saw that a great light of the oragonas opened up and they looked at and they saw this light is a special light. They didn't know is this light just something for us here now? Well this light did we open up something from the beginning from the oragonas? Did we open up something from my beras that now that we cracked open this light every year this light is just going to shine more and more that we actually open it up or this is just a one-time experience. So the entire year they were waiting and they were getting ready for the 25th of Kislave. Are we going to see this light come back again? And as soon as the 25th of Kisslave came that next year, they felt the light opening up again and they said, "Now we know this will be forever." And like says that the holidays are only getting stronger every single year. We've never had a even more than the time of the as we do this year. We've never had the power because we're just growing on their light. It's only getting brighter and brighter. It's only getting brighter and brighter. The miracle of both the and the candle says a beautiful, beautiful idea. Such a famous idea. He says, "Hashem could have made this miraculous miracle." We understand of the but you know the say the maf there was nothing actually miraculous about it. It's true to have a small group of yeshiva guys with their kitchen forks going up against the Greek Syrian empire and their elephant tanks. So that's pretty amazing. But it wasn't like our kitchen forks levitated through the air and then poked everyone's It's just that every single arrow shot was avoided by Uda Makabe. And every single time they would put a pitchfork into the elephant, it hit exactly in the spot. So imagine hundreds of thousands of arrows just like like Neo style. It's not miraculous. It's just it was just wow that's pretty good. It was natural. But when you add it all up, it was very miraculous. But there was no laws of nature being broken. So people later could say, you know what, maybe it wasn't such a miracle. You know, they could type guerilla warfare. There's other factors at play here. You know, they could make it as if it wasn't something. But then when it came to the miracle of the canvas, so that was that's just pure miracle. And when you know that that was absolute miracle, then you read back in that what you think is just nature is also miracles. So said something beautiful. He said, "Imagine you have a person and he's taking care of a child. How do you know if this is the mother of the child or not? He's given the child a bath, bathing them, making sure that they're maybe this is the just somebody taking care. How do you know this is the mother and the person?" because anybody will help make sure the baby's taken care of. Said after they they wrap the baby up, they give them a kiss. That's the mother. So, Hashem gave us an amazing victory in the And then he said, "But I want you to know that it's me." That was the kiss. That was the lights. That's the light of And our last question. It says that they made all the oil. So this is one of my favorite favorite thoughts from the it says that all the she was tame. So where did they find that path? And where was it? Jesus deals with this. But where where was that she? So he says it was actually right on the floor. So then he says, "So why didn't the Greeks find it?" What do you mean? It it was right in front of their eyes. Why didn't they find that p? It's right there. He says, "But you know what that p is? You know what that little bit of oil is? That's our soul. They can never find that. It's sitting in front of their eyes and they will never find it because there's a place inside of us that can never become contaminated no matter what. It can contaminate a lot of other things, but there's a little point, a pint, you know, the little flame that's above the iron kesh, the namid, a little spark that never goes out. That's your soul and they'll never find it. That's the mo Abraham. There's a place that is guarded and sacred within me that will never ever be snubbed out and I'm kaka. I awaken that place inside of me. I touch that place and once I touch that place and touching the oragonas I'm touching the hidden light. So the voice get ready. The oragonas is it's coming. Get ready. The more you put into getting ready for Kaneka, the more you will feel it. Learn about Kaneka. Go get your oil. Get your wicks. Learn about the oil. Learn about the wicks. Think about all the things I'm so thankful for because these were days of halal veh of praising and saying thank you. Think about what I want to praise you for. What I want to say thank you for. And this year you will see the organ in its absolute brilliance. Amen. Amen. Amen. Have a wonderful day. Rabbi call to
