Torah Illuminated Series: Rebbe Meir and the Soul of Chanukah

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com [Music] there's an ancient Fila that a Jew says at a time of distress at a time of trouble Ella de mayor anini May the god literally of Mayor answer me what is the meaning of this Fila Allah the source of this Fila is that the sister-in-law of Robbie Mayer was in a very difficult trying circumstance and uncomfortable circumstance she was in prison and ramire went to capture her to save her from being violated and he gave the jail Warden some money to bribe him and the Joe Warden says okay I will allow you to take your sister-in-law but what should I do when the authorities come and remember said just say that Fila Allah and sure enough the gel Warden tried it and it worked the martial asks a very important question on this Kamara there's a principle God does not associate with the righteous while they're still alive that is why so long as Yitzhak was alive Hashem never used the terminology it was only alike avraham after the demise of Abraham because Hashem does not associate with the Sadiq wall that Sadiq is alive because no one is assured that they will live out their life in righteousness we don't know for sure that somebody will remain at Sadiq until one's life is over and therefore the Marsha asks how could a mayor say Allah the mayor aneni May the god literally of Mayor answer me God does not associate with the righteous while they're still alive the martial says in the second answer that Allah does not refer to the god of Mayor mayor does not refer to the personage ready Mayer but rather refers to zamarsha that God who answered us and illuminated Our Lives the god that illuminated our lives in the times of chanukkah anini answer me the Marsha is revealing to us that the special is specifically referencing the salvation of chanukkah and the question is why then of all people was it revi Mayer who always invoked the tsila laka de mayor anini if mayor does not refer to him but rather mayor refers to the illumination of chanukkah what is the connection between the personality Robbie Mayer and Hanukkah and afterwards your children came into the temple why refer to the Jews as your children but why refer to Cloud Israel as baneja in reference to the miracle of Hanukkah the answer is tells us in parsha's me Cates and the safer race David that when your safe instituted he instituted goes on to explain that the reason why the Ivana wanted to abolish Mila and Shabbos is because these three mitzvahs demonstrate that we are children of Hashem the fact that bezden the Jewish people declare when Russia begins and Hashem endorses that and Hashem empowers the Jewish courts to create that shows hashem's great love for us it shows we are about the fact that we could keep Shabbos Shabbos is the day of rest of God it's like the scepter of God no mere citizen could hold on to the scepter of God how are we allowed to rest on the seventh day says because we are children of akadash baraku and the son of the king could hold the scepter of the king and Mila the krita also demonstrates we are the reason that Ivana wanted to abolish these three Mitzvahs is they wanted us to feel that we are we are no longer children to Hashem therefore then says if Hashem restored the Mitzvahs of that then demonstrates that we are in fact we are in fact the children of Hashem therefore we say Upon returning to the Upon returning to the temple we return as proud children of Hashem we can offer that the reason why rebe Mayer was the one who always invoked the light of Hanukkah is because we know mayor's world view as expressed in the sex the condition of Mayor holds we are always the Beloved children of Hashem as opposed to the opinion of the review the holds that when we fulfill the will of Hashem we are considered as children but if we're not fulfilling Roots we are only his servants ramire holds we are always the children of Hashem that was the world view of the great tanarabi mayor therefore rev mayor's world view is that we are the children of Hashem and Ramirez particularly connected to the umptive of chanukkah therefore it is Rev mayor who always prayed elaka de mayor anini May the god of Mayor answer me meaning not referring to him May The God Who illuminated our lives in the times of chanukkah answer us so if mayor always invoked the miracle of Hanukkah because the miracle of Hanukkah demonstrates we are children of Hashem and of mayor's world view was that we are always the Beloved children of Hashem you know it's interesting that one should light a candle on Hanukkah for the soul in honor of the soul of and the vanishkai does not explain the reason for this writes this as well that one should light a candle on in honor of the mayor is the yard side of Ravi mere balhanas how fitting it is whose world view is that we are always the children of Hashem passed away on chanukkah is the yamtif that demonstrates we are always the children of Hashem there's an idea that on the day that a sage passes away his teaching is imbued into the hearts of his students on the day of the passing it is forever ingrained on the hearts of the Jewish people we are always the children of Asha so when you light the near Hanukkah remember we're celebrating and commemorating we are born recognize that this is the umptive which Sears onto our souls the great teaching of the Tanner of Mayor that we are always the children of Hashem wishing everyone [Music] you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
