SF - Chanukah Edition - Purity Powers Miracles

Purity Powers Miracles

Chanukah marks the miracle of a small group of Jewish scholars -- the Chashmonayim -- defeating a major army of thousands of well-equipped Greek soldiers. The Chashmonayim did not aspire to be warriors, heros, or conquerors. Rather their only intention was to liberate their brethren from religious oppression and to purify the spirit of Klal Yisrael. They wanted to "sanctify HaShem," so that HaShem be recognized and acknowledged in the world. After the Chashmonayim miraculously defeated the Greeks, they gathered in Temple to thank and praise HaShem -- revealing the purity of their intention.

Lesson: The pure intentions of the Chashmonayim to sanctify HaShem, awakened the great miracles of Chanukah. 

App: When you light the Chanukah candles, reflect on the pure intention of the Chashmonayim to sanctify HaShem and save the souls of Klal Yisrael from the Greek defilement. Be inspired to purify your intentions and strengthen your commitment to insure the future of Klal Yisrael.
