Next week will be Hanukkah, where we will all be part of the greatest light in the world. In preparation for these special days - the Rebbe Rabbi Josiah Pinto explained the virtue of Hanukkah.

This is how Rabbi Pinto explained: Hanukkah days are very significant days. This is a great foundation every day holy, holiness today - that the size effect of today and Hanukkah.

Our teachers corrected those days knew that these days of twilight, the end of the days of the prophets were prophesying and support the people of Israel, and this is a new era coming down to the world, so they took the power of these days To the lowest place, that every person who demands Gd and seeks to draw near to Gd, will find a path and a bridge to reach holiness.

Not at all times man can reach holiness, man with his evil deeds breaks and spoils the tracks between him and Gd, and when looking for a way it is hard for him to find, but on Hanukkah sages went down even less than ten tapas, to places the Divine was never, and allowed to light In all the oils and in all the wicks, even in the wicks that are forbidden on the Sabbath, all in order to receive the repentant soul

. There is no person in any place who is, who can not approach Gd on the days of this holy holiday

.

And in the Rama; and it is customary to say hymns and praises in the meals that are multiplied in them,

And here is the most difficult words of Rama, because of the hymns sung, it makes the dinner meal mitzvah? How can we understand the words. A person that tomorrow will be a banquet and direct it, the meal becomes a feast commandment it possible to say.

Here you can gloss and say there is a big difference in age The miracle of Hanukkah, the miracle of Purim. On Purim they wanted to kill the body, so they set a meal.

But there is another important matter in Hanukkah that is in the hands of man, and is how much the person feels closer to Gd, so his joy and holiday is with him, and this is the change between Hanukkah and other holidays, every holiday we know the decree, when to enter and when to leave, what to do, what forbidden, everything is clear in advance. but Hanukkah, nothing is clear and according adherence-d and man's relationship with God this man's commitment to these holy days.

there are areas of his person everything and has nothing to do apart at a family party, and the fire ritual Of a candle. And there is a man who descends into the depths of the soul, and understands the great light that lies in these exalted and holy days, and knows that he can attain enormous attainments, and out of great understanding and devotion to Gd sing and sing.

And what the singing causes man, to bring out the deepest things in the soul of man. And this is one of the great foundations of every Jew, who has the power of singing to mend and go to the depths of the soul, there are deep and complicated places in the human psyche, that nothing in the world can reach because of the sensitivity of the place, and the danger of harming Only singing and singing that emanates from the depths of the heart, only they touch there and only they do there what no other force in the world can do.

If so, Hanukkah is not like all the holidays, all the holidays are clear to us well the boundaries, from where to where, Hanukkah is a holiday according to human virtue. A person who only touches holiness will act like this, just light a candle or participate or whatever is seen by many in the world, but as much as a person has been privileged to go down and learn and pump and build these days, it is a force for the whole year, and so by singing can reach deep into the soul Also for a mitzvah meal.

We seek to sharpen in our psyche very strongly, that man has two kinds of commitments, we have a commitment of the Holy Torah, that Moses is true and his teachings are true, this is a first commitment. And we have a second commitment, which is the order of conscience of each and every one, and it is according to the virtue of man.

And so one can find two people doing the same deed, one will get for this deed the next world, and one will get for this deed, hell. And why?

Because it depends on the psychic powers of the person, and what this person has received and what he returns, this is a second Torah that is not written in any book, it is written on the emotion of the heart of each and every person, and Chanukah symbolizes this Torah.

There is no commitment to a mitzvah meal, there are no commitments to many things on this holiday, but there is a commitment of conscience, that for this commitment severe punishments are punished, and also one receives a huge reward. And so we must know that the world of devotion to Gd, called the world of storks, is this world of commitments coming to man from the depths of his soul, from the conscience, and it is a silent war, an internal war, to take our souls to new heights, and new commitments, Conscience, in other tools, in the weight of the world of conscience.

A person obliges himself to practice the practice of Hasidism, and to observe a certain thing, because it is his order of conscience. In a way, and Satan's war on conscience that it's commitments and mental commitments, it's by conscience

.

Hanukkah, it is possible in a few minutes by lighting a menorah to go out by duty and we have finished Hanukkah, or it is possible to lift the light and delve and stick and achieve and reach on Hanukkah, for huge and scary things.

We will work on ourselves to sharpen in our minds the value of the matzah, and that everything we learn will be a part of our lives and not just a matter of knowing, but an understanding that it will be the depth of life and understanding of life.
