The Revealing Light of Shabbos Chanukah | Rabbi Yoel Steinmetz

We're all looking forward to that perfect Shabas table where our children are sitting like angels singing smeirus asking the parha questions and we're on we're active we're excited with our spouse or our family engaging them and connecting to hashem and the kaduca of shabas but as a beneskai points out that doesn't always happen Friday afternoon many times he says lead because there's so much kaduca that's about to happen. So there's so much turmoil that the Sahara tries to get us to have. We're tired coming from work and sometimes we feel a lack of energy going into Shabas thinking how will I survive this suda how am I going to make this nice I don't have for anything but shabas khanaka gives us a ray of hope asks the we know all about all about hrather we have beautiful minyas wonderful perfect oil she is and yet the mission shab says that The psiloise, the wicks and the oils that generally cannot be used for shabas can actually be used for kaneka explains the reason behind this shabas. You're right. Sometimes it's hard to connect to. You have to be in a little bit higher madrega to be able to access the kaduca that high lofty kadusha of shabas. But kaneka hashem comes down to us. He comes down the matud the place where mana is a place where generally the is not found that even a person that seo is she representing that the people who are not so connected who are not so into yadishk who are not so excited hashem lights them up on kaneka allowing them to access the hikadusha of the nare of light allowing them for their yiddishkai to be a flame to be a lit to be something that spreads all over even if other parts of the They're not shabas khaneka. We light the ner kaneka first and then we go to n shabas. The swarm explained it's a message nasan is for everyone. Even someone who doesn't feel connected, someone who doesn't feel he's able to give over that yishkite passionately, hashem lights him up. Even the she that's not so nice is not good enough for shabas but it's good enough for kanaka because inashem lights everyone up. Then we go into shab is that high level of kaduca with the knowledge that yes even me specifically me I am a no matter where I'm holding I may be I may be the are subpar but hashem I'm not subar with that knowledge we go into shabas with that understanding we feel elit excited with an understanding that I am worthful and great and I'm a Hashem, my nare is kadesh. And when we go into a shabas with that understanding, we'll be able to access that high level kaduca of shabas.
