Kind: captions Language: en So, with the help of God, we are in the midst of the first candle of the days of Chanukah, the name of Chanukah, and it is good that a person should strengthen themselves in them, because as I said this morning, I said something, I think it is true, that the fact that we are lighting Chanukah today, 2164 years after the miracle that happened in the days of the Hasmoneans, and we still do it willingly and eagerly. This is a huge victory for the people of Israel, that after 2164 years since the miracle happened, His name will still be praised from the lights, and still the light is revealed, that this is the hidden light, and this is the light of redemption. It is true that the exile is long, and so on. But let's look at it with a positive eye. It is true that the exile is long, but on the other hand, we hold that His name will be praised. The terrible conditions did not want to exist in our generation. They did not want to be in our generation because of the many temptations and all the desires and temptations. And so I say this to the wise that one still takes the candle and lights it with joy, with desire, with will. This is a very big thing. [Snorting contempt] So you need to know first of all, as I said this morning, that the Hallel [Kahachag] Hallel on Chanukah is in place of the Megillah on Purim. You need to say Hallel on Chanukah word for word, not missing even a letter, like in the scroll of Purim. We are meticulous about every letter and every word as it should be, because on Purim there is no Hallel. Why is there no Hallel on Purim? Because the scroll is the Hallel on Purim. The scroll is Hallel. Therefore, there is no Hallel on Purim. But on Chanukah, there is Hallel. Therefore, there is no Megillah. There is no Megillah. Why is there Hallel for eight days? Eight days of Hallel. This is instead of the Megillah. Now what I want to capture is the wording. The wording we add. The wording we add in the prayer for miracles, for the release, for the eyebrows, etc. And what do we say within this text? We say, " And you, in your great mercy, stood by them in their time of distress. You multiplied their strife. You judged their judgment. You avenged their wrath." What is heavy? You, the Holy One, blessed be He, stood by them in the time of trouble for the people of Israel. It's not the heroes, not because they had tanks, nothing. We say every day, pay attention, a person [as a shepherd] must pay attention to what comes out of his mouth. Every day, now during Chanukah, you utter a few words at least three times in prayers. Except for what you say, the blessing of food, except for the addition on Shabbat that you say it again, except for Rosh Chodesh, you say it again in the addition, so it's much more, so it's more than three times a day. If you add the blessing of food, if you add the addition of Shabbat and two additions of the two days of Rosh Chodesh this year, it's many times you say this version of "On the miracles and the poplars and the heroes and the deliverances and that's what you say, and you are the bread of many of you, you stood by them in their time of trouble, you were there in the time of trouble, not the power, not my strength and the might of my hand, no, it made me this bravery. Why because I have a connection, I have, you know, you know it, you know it, I have it, you know everything, everything is good, I know those who speak like that, but that's not, it's not true, it's not true, because if the Holy One, blessed be He, is not found, all those you know and all will not help, nothing, nothing. And maybe I told you this, but a story that I was present at, a real story where a man went to the doctor and he wanted to receive some kind of health insurance benefit, but a benefit because it would have cost him very, very expensive, very expensive to pay for emergency care, he wanted the benefit from the health insurance and that was very significant. So one entered with the utmost confidence, why? Because he knows the doctor, he knows this one, he knows the manager and this one and the other one, he doesn't know anyone. And then it confidently says to him, "Well, what are you doing?" So he tells him I want the benefit. I tell him, "But who do you know ?" Tell him I don't know anything. I only know the Holy One, Blessed be He. I only know the Holy One, Blessed be He. I don't know anyone. So he started telling him, you have no chance, you know, this and he told him that he knew this, knew this and so on. In short, they entered. The one who knows everyone but didn't mention the Holy One, blessed be He, left with a broken heart. Didn't get anything, didn't get anything. He did not receive the ark. A piece of [ __ ]. And the second one, I was [snorting] there, but because I heard the conversation, I said I won't move from here [snorting contempt] until I see the results. So I was done, I could go. not. But after I heard the conversation between them I said I have to stay and see how everyone gets out of there I had to then [snorts of contempt] The one who knows everyone but he did n't mention the Holy One, blessed be He, came out in a state of despair, didn't receive well so I'm waiting for the other one now because [snorts] he was before me I'm waiting the other one comes out with a smile to the point of delirium I told him you accepted as if he was looking at me where you know from doesn't matter I heard you in that so he tells me yes thank God I accepted I understand he accepted the benefit why what he doesn't know anyone but he knows the Holy One, blessed be He, enough enough you know the Holy One, blessed be He, enough the story is over the story is over they accepted this is what it says here you say and you in your great mercy stood up for them in their assembly you stood up for them in their assembly because only they knew only you only you knew Antiochus recognized elephants he brought elephants what elephants he brought with up wow what things he brought he recognized all the physical power my strength and power from my hands fell fell they recognized only the Holy One, blessed be He five five so they they they won won and after This is us, you fought their fight, and you judged their justice, you avenged their revenge, you took revenge. It is forbidden to tell a person, it is forbidden for a soldier to repeat and say, "I took revenge." It is wrong. This is what the Holy One, blessed be He, did. This brings redemption. This brings victory. This brings greatness. This brings all the name. It is good that you mention the Holy One, blessed be He, because the Holy One, blessed be He wants it in My honor. I created it. I created the Father. I made it. I created the whole world in My honor. So you must sanctify My name in public. Therefore, everything you want to sanctify His name in public. Everything you do, all your desire, all your desire, all your desire to sanctify His mother in public. Helps you. Gives you a hand. Here I am with you. Come, come. You want to sanctify My name in public. Come, I am with you. Come, come. It is a matter of self-sacrifice that a person wants to do for the sake of the Holy One, blessed be He. He does not have the tools. He does not have the means. He has nothing. It does not matter. He has the will. The Holy One, blessed be He, is with him. This is what is written here. This is what is written. You delivered heroes in hand. Weak does n't make sense at all, not strong and not strong-armed, because why, because we [as a force] are weak and they are heroes? After all, we won, and many in the hands of few, and many in the hands of few. Now the rest, everyone asks, everyone asks, what is impure in the hands of pure? What's the connection? What's the connection? It's delicious, it's pure. But what is the connection of power? right? So this is this is this point, this is the tip of the whole point here. What's the point? I wanted to mention today that it is known that the entire war of the Greeks and all the Greeks, their entire war, is over the Torah. It is not about the actual study. You want to study, you are a teacher at the university, but not from the language of teaching, not from the language of Torah, that you want to observe it, please study, study, study, study, teach it, there is no problem, teach them, there is no problem, but but if you come to the Beit Midrash and want to study it in the Torah, meaning from the language of teaching, then no, then they did not agree, it was the war, so it is written about that, impure, impure, these are the Greeks who are impure, right [as in] hand in hand, pure, they want to observe the Torah in holiness, in purity, from the language of teaching, from the language of teaching, from the language of teaching, they want to observe it, from the language of teaching, and therefore, and therefore, it is written that what is the victory, the victory, that holiness is defeated, that what is defeated, the impurity, what is impurity, is to study Torah at the university, to study Torah, boys and girls together, and so on, what they defile there, heaven, and so on, this is called impurity. So we see here that holiness wins. why? Because the Torah is not, it is not, it is not wisdom. What is written in the Gemara, wisdom among the Gentiles, you will believe. Wisdom among the Gentiles is not Torah. This is not Torah. We are talking about wisdom, which is Torah. Wisdom that is a victorious Torah. She won. He is the wicked in the hands of the righteous. He goes to the gym all day . In fitness he does and does and this and that. In the end he comes, he comes from the righteous man who leaves the house of the midrash. At most he picks up books. This is picking up books. No, no. You know [snorts of contempt] No, no, no, your gym, no sports, no nothing. And yet the righteous, the righteous, are victorious, victorious, and the ones who practice your Torah are the ones who Who is the first? Now this is the point I wanted to talk about. Who was the first to want to fight the Torah? Because it is known that the Torah will be stuck generations before I didn't say I didn't say as if years are not years it's generations generations stuck generations this is 970 900 74 sub-Kaad 974 generations generations before the creation of the world and therefore every day in India what do you say a word commanded for 1 thousand generations what is a thousand generations stuck generations before the creation of the world from the creation of the world until the reception of the Torah is 26 generations 10 generations from Abraham to Noah Noah to the first Abraham from the first Adam forgiveness from the first Adam to Noah 10 generations Noah to Abraham another 10 generations from Abraham to Moses another six here is 26 generations plus it will be stuck 974 yes yes 974 right that's how many it comes out together comes out together a word commanded for 1000 generations to 1 generation and therefore therefore in the psalm of Shabbat that we gave thanks to the name it is written that for the world Hasdor there are exactly 26 verses 26 verses gave thanks to the name because the world foresaw the name 26 verses against 26 generations before the giving of the Torah because When the world existed for 26 generations, therefore they say that God's mercy will last for 26 generations. The world existed before we received the Torah. So who's first? This is the ancient serpent. The ancient serpent actually did what he wanted, he wanted to harm the Torah. And so the Holy One, blessed be He, the Holy One, blessed be He, built Eve from the first man's plate, as it is said, "And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the side of it." So what is it that the Lord made the rib that He took from man into a woman and brought it to man? The angel of the Lord says this later. This is how the Zohar says this. The Holy Zohar says that He clothed Himself on the primeval serpent. This is how many books say this. What does it mean that He corrupted Eve and cast filth upon her? So what is this and the Bel Zohama missile? Literally, they say it's as if it came to her, but it's not that simple. This is a filth projectile. The meaning is that she listened to him and ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. So that's the intention, that's the filth. The filth means that we have descended many steps. And where is it written? The seed Samson says, he clarifies this from the verse in that the Holy One, blessed be He, commands a person: "On the day you strike death, you will die." So then I say, but what is immortality? He didn't die twice. What year did he die? He was at the age of 900. At the age of 930, Adam the First died. So what is death? The first bed is the descent on the step that he descended on the step that is the first bed and the second bed is that he died at the age of 920 a [snort of contempt] 930 and through that the spirit of impurity entered. And she is for all living, she gave birth to the entire universe, so supposedly everyone accepted it, and this is the 6,000-year correction, and this is what was said, and the woman said, "I will eat and drink." What is "I will eat and drink"? And from the word "marriage" because the moment he cast upon her the impurity, the moment he cast upon her the impurity, it is called the word "marriage" and read the word "marriage" and go and go and read the word " marriage" and therefore and therefore and therefore and therefore all everything, the war of Hanukkah, the whole war, the war of Hanukkah of the Hasmoneans, what is this? It was the Torah because it started with the first man, meaning in every generation, it is the whole war. So what is the victory? The victory when a person leaves everything, closes the phone and goes to the settings, settings, for a few five minutes. Five minutes. What's in it? 10 minutes. May his name be praised. Fifteen minutes, half an hour, an hour, two hours, a complete order. Each according to what he can. What he can. But when he goes there, leaves everything behind him and enters the Torah, he also, when he does the mitzvah, leaves everything behind, right? Doing the prayer. This is victory. This is the victory of Hanukkah that we come and praise. Therefore, Hallel is in place of the Megillah because all that is left for us to do is to hallel that after 4 years we still light the menorah. This is the Great Hallel. So what is the Great Hallel? When a person holds fast to the Torah, holds fast to the Torah and to the mitzvot. This is the Great Hallel. This is the Great Hallel. This is the Victory. This is the Victory. So, with the help of God, this is the opening. Tomorrow, with the help of God, we will continue. These are opening words. On Chanukah, with divine help, blessed be the Lord forever. Amen and amen.
