Turn Friday into Erev Shabbos #122 - Shabbos Chanuka, Double the Light

well getting there Shabbos everybody it is almost Shabbos that's not ordinary Shabbos it is a special wow what a Shabbos what a combination I want to thank our generous sponsors for term fighting minda and see foreign on this short Friday we gotta light those Hanukkah candles light those Shabbos candles welcome what a special Shamus it is how exciting it is says that on the Friday the Shabbos chanukkah is very special to combine the light the light of Hanukkah with the light of the Shabbos candles the light of Hanukkah pierce the light the candles we don't benefit from Inland vicious we don't benefit we don't count we don't read next to them we just look at them we gaze at them we are enlightened and illuminated through them and then the Shabbos candles that promote Shalom bias the Shabbos candles that illuminate the home so we can see and count our brachos so we can get along with unity and with Harmony and the combination of those lights is the brightest brightest light and then you throw into that mix new beginning and fresh opportunity what an incredible Shabbos what an exciting Shabbos this is a person who takes the lighting of candles as a regular feature of life you accustom yourself to light you'll have children what does that mean what candles are you lighting some say it's talking about Chavez candles others say araga veneer is talking about the Hanukkah candles but the truth is the one who lights both the chanukkah and the Shabbos candles will have children why what does that mean so some Sayer means that you burn the Midnight Oil you burn the candle you sit and you learn next to that light we have to model so that they will emulate us we get to serve as role models and as an example harago Bonaire we have to use those candles and use that light in order to lift in order to illuminate others but this gives another idea swasama says something very like something so beautiful something I hope will illuminate and Enlighten your life as it does mine says this a beautiful thing I rug up in there what is one thing have to do with the other yes children who are righteous children who are Scholars just because you lit the shabba's candles just because you lit the Hanukkah candles and he says no haragle comes from haragle is hair gel is custom and Road and habit and pattern haragle the things that we do that we are accustomed to do but if haragle benair if we take the things that we're accustomed to doing but we do it banera we do it with a light and a fire and a spark and a brand we do it and we're on fire in the way that we do the things that haragle if we are haragle but Baner so every Friday we like to shower's candles every Friday night we make kiddish every Friday night when they come mostly every Friday night we come to the shower's table every Friday night we say the same Dominique every Friday night we sing the same as miros these are the things that we're used to doing but we don't mail it in and we don't do it in any ordinary fashion how regular we do the things that we're accustomed to doing but the way we do them is a candle the way we do it is on fire then we'll have children if we want our children to be excited we want our children to be on fire if we want our children to be enthusiastic and energized and passionate than they have to see us do the haragle they have to see us do the things that we ordinarily do but do them in a non-ordinary way to see us do them with a fire hirogil so it's going to be the sixth line night of Hanukkah where now six times we're lighting the Hanukkah candles it's our new pattern this is our custom this is our practice but to take the thing that haruga that we're doing and to do it paneer Shabbos comes each and every week but to our children to our neighbors to our family do we ourselves see ourselves keeping the same exact Shabbos over and over and over again or haragle we are at the minhagim and the customs of the fish in lahain between the fish and the meat and the soup all the custom from the customary food to the customary wardrobe to the customary to feel us to the customary everything that we do it's haragle but do we do it benair each time on fire each time with a new light a new spark each time with a brightness and with a light if we want children the haragle the thing we are accustomed to has to be benaire so whether it's the candles of shabbas the candles of chanukkah and the gemara says that Wicks and oil which are ineligible to light the Shabbos candles they're still good for chanukkah the more united says what does that mean it means the person who doesn't get lit up who doesn't get their spark ignited rails and get excited by Shabbos but Hanukkah comes that combination that bright light that energy that warmth mix in roshkosh New Beginning Fresh Start however this is it this is our Shabbos this is our new beginning break the Habit break the rote break that pattern break out and find a brand of fire and enthusiasm a spark a joy bring a sense of presence and a sense of soul and a Shema to everything we do and the way that we do it to the way that we celebrate Shabbos so we'll leave it there a little abbreviated this week everyone's got a light candles everybody's got to get ready early light the Shabbat light the Hanukkah candles Shabbos candles and come into Hanukkah with the combination of those two Bright Lights we should have the most on fire the most lit Shabbos all that we do should be done been there it's time and the fantastic job as everybody stay happy stay healthy
