the darkness of Hanukkah is here to
teach us something there are forces in
the world
that want you to be weak instead of the
blessing of Joshua
strength and courage as you enter into
the Promised Land
strength and courage they want to raise
a generation of weak cowards they want
to raise a generation of feminine men
constantly smothering any signs of any
masculine power or honor anything manly
as categorized now as toxic toxic
masculinity it's like feminine weak
boyish men is what they want because
those are easy to control in restricted
areas those are really easy to tell what
to do and they'll follow orders and
they'll give up their freedoms like they
did in Egypt their forces in the world
that want you to be weak and unhealthy
they want you to be addicted to sugar
and junk food and chemicals and that way
they can sell you more food that's
shaming I mean what what is that what is
that if you want to encourage people to
be healthy and call out obesity you're
now fat shaming it's like they want to
normalize being fat weak and unhealthy
obesity is the second only to cigarettes
the leading preventable death in the
United States of America stems from
obesity they're people they're forces
that are at play that want you to be fat
weak and sick so they can sell you more
medications if your body is weak then
your mind will be weak and you'll start
feeling depressed and anxious and guess
what they have medication for that too
and these forces want you to be
distracted
to make you forget the Torah not that
you'll forget it that you like I don't
remember it anymore you'll be so
distracted that you'll forget because
you're so distracted they want you to be
addicted to video games to social media
to sports events to the Netflix to the
newest thing that's in the media all of
that is to distract your mind
from what really matters disconnect you
from yourself disconnect you from the
source that is the darkness that
surrounds the flame of Hanukkah and
Hanukkah is here to teach us that we
have to fight back like Maccabees
against that we have to be Warriors like
David's men a real Salvation Army you
have to work on getting stronger in your
body and as your body gets stronger your
mind will get stronger you have to
choose to eat healthy you have to fight
this anti-life culture and choose what
you focus your attention on and not get
distracted by the Temptations and the
Technologies of the media the spiritual
essence of Hanukkah is that we have the
ability to turn the darkness into light
it's the only holiday that the ikar of
the Mitzvah the essence of the Mitzvah
is to do it at night time it's the
holiday that we internalize now it's
like the darkness is the Exile the Bible
is sealed in Hanukkah Hanukkah holiday
it's not mentioned in the Hebrew Bible
the Christian Bible honors Hanukkah as a
holy day it's just another proof that
Christianity when learned properly is a
religion that should honor Judaism but
the Bible by the time Hanukkah comes
around is sealed the book of McAfee
didn't make it into the Canon of the
Hebrew Bible prophecy as we know it is
gone the Greeks and the Western world
begin their reign of darkness and
materialism and here we are in the
darkness now and Tanaka is our holiday
it was the last gift given to us after
the Tanakh was sealed it's like one more
one more light teaching us that we can
withstand the darkness and Sonica is not
only about that it's really taking the
darkness and emerging bringing the light
turning the pain and the suffering into
purpose and meaning and healing and
victory to overcome the obstacles to
persevere to never give up to become
stronger through the adversity and as
they're trying to push us in one
direction we push back and in that
friction we become who we were destined
to be
it's arguably the purpose of creation to
to choose faith when you could easily
choose Hellenism Hedonism nihilism
that's what faith is it's to choose the
light when darkness is all around to
choose faith when the evidence is
unclear
it's like admits the dark and the chaos
of the world to choose to be a
reflection of God's light to be
honorable to be Noble to be holy to be
good
it's like by bringing our unique light
into the darkness into the Hester into
the world before mashiach when God's
presence is still hidden that is the
ultimate good that is the light that
will continue to shine in the windows of
Jerusalem
it's the purest oil it's to be God's
light in the world
and there is nothing greater that we
could do
and so may all of us be blessed with the
light of Hanukkah and take that light
amidst the darkness into the Year and no
it just takes a small group of dedicated
people
I've changed the entire world and so
from this place and in this time may all
of you be blessed from Zion
