SF - Beyond the Veil

Beyond the Veil At the time of Hanukah the Maccabees found a flask of pure olive oil that burned for eight days. The jar contained enough oil to burn for one day. In light of this, the miracle took place over a period of seven days. If so, why do we celebrate Hanukah for eight days? The answer is that nature is not an independent force, separate from HaShem. The Almighty, alone, is the cause of everything, from the sunrise in  the morning until the appearance of the moon and stars at night. At Hanukah time we recognize that oil kindling a flame is a miracle, in itself. Therefore, we light one additional day to thank HaShem for the miracle of "nature," that oil ignites a flame. Lesson: Beyond the veil of nature, HaShem performs the countless and constant miracles of our existence. App: Look beyond the veil and see that it is HaShem Who makes the stars shine, the trees blossom, and the rivers flow to the sea. He grants us goodness and blessings all the days of our lives!
