Set Your Soul on Fire
The Maccabees displayed the highest level of bravery in brazenly attacking a far superior army. Their fiery spirit to defend the observance of Torah powered them to victory. The more they actively confronted the forces of evil and oppression, the more HaShem blessed them with miraculous triumph over their oppressors.
Lesson: The more we give our all to serve HaShem, the more He will bless our efforts with success.
App: As you light the Chanukah candles, reflect on the courage of the Maccabees and set your soul on fire. (Based on the writings of the Bach on the Shulchan Orach)
New: If you have a question that relates to life issues, such as relationships, personal development, trust in HaShem, business ethics, etc., you can schedule a ten-minute consultation (free) with Rabbi Zvi Miller, via skype or phone. Send email request to salantorg@gmail.com |
