[Music] this the one of the most wonderful things about Kaneka is that khaka is not just the Y of the monora and it's not just the Y of the donuts and the drel and the lus it's also the Y of Tor and one of the sources of the on khaka is of course the famous question of the B who asks that the first night there was no Miracle they found the oil and there was enough oil for one night it was only the next seven nights there was a miracle that the oil kept on replenishing so the question is why do we celebrate Kaneka eight days it ought ought to be only seven days and there were there are a countless number of answers given to that question every year it seems that there are new answers and they're all great and they're all wonderful and I was asked what is my f favorite answer to the question so it's hard to pick which is your favorite V Tor it's like saying which is your favorite child but the de the answer that seems to be resonating with me this year is the answer given by the Samer in the we say they lit the manur in the courtyard Ander asks a question the manur is not lit in the courtyard the manur was in the B mikdash so he says actually that year they chose to light the manora not in the B mdash itself but they actually lit the man Outdoors why cuz the whole point of lighting the manura was to publicize the miracle that was had done and does for us if the Manar is going to be lit in the B mikdash when no one can enter you won't feel the miracle you need to see the miracle and appreciate the miracle and they let the manora outdoors the amount of oil that they found was the amount of oil that you need when you light a manora indoors because there's no wind there's no there's nothing that's making the oil get used up quicker when you're lighting outside you need more oil so they only had the amount that would be proper for inside but the N was that are lasted that year Outdoors it lasted for the same amount of time as if they would have lit indoors and I saw that the and his sa from says what does that mean to us what means to us says yes we all light the manur every night of Kaneka but what many people unfortunately do is they light the manur they make the BR they say that and then they go on and they leave that isn't what kazal wanted from us they wanted us to sit at the by manura look at the manura think about the manura think about the Miracles that aesh did for us and for the Miracles that AES constantly does for us and for the Miracles that we pray that K should continue doing for us that's what Kan is all about to thank and to asku for all the Miracles you do for us all the time that we should have the privilege especially in these very very difficult times in Israel that Miracles should happen again for cl and we should be able to constantly thank and praise Hashem for [Music] them
