SF - # Chanukah: The Revelation of Hashem's Love

The journey is beautiful

The Rambam writes that “the Mitzvah of lighting the Chanukah lights is a very beloved Mitzvah.” Since he does not use this expression for any other Mitzvah, we are compelled to explore what makes the kindling of the Chanukah Menorah uniquely precious. The Torah teaches that HaShem cherishes Klal Yisrael as His children. The Talmud asks: Does this fatherly love depend on our obedience to the Torah, or is HaShem’s love unconditional—extending to us even when we fall short? The conclusion is striking: HaShem’s love for Klal Yisrael is absolute and unwavering, regardless of our spiritual state. This truth becomes especially evident during the era of the Greek oppression. At that time, the majority of Klal Yisrael succumbed to Hellenistic influence and did not repent. Only a small minority, led by the Chashmonaim, remained steadfast in their devotion. Yet despite the widespread rebellion, HaShem performed the extraordinary miracles of Chanukah. These miracles revealed His boundless, unconditional love for His people. Because Chanukah shines with the revelation of HaShem’s unwavering affection for Klal Yisrael, the Mitzvah of lighting the Menorah is indeed “very beloved.” Just as parents love their children without conditions, so too HaShem—our compassionate Father—loves us with an unbreakable love. Today: As you light the Chanukah candles, contemplate this timeless truth. Reflect on the miracles HaShem performed even when most of Klal Yisrael was immersed in foreign practices. Close your eyes, open your heart, and feel the steady, unending love and mercy that HaShem extends to you. Rejoice in the knowledge that His love surrounds you every moment of your life.

SF - # The Secret of Chanukah's Holiness

The journey is beautiful

On Chanukah, we recite the Shehechiyanu blessing specifically over the lighting of the Menorah. On all other festivals, however, the Shehechiyanu is said over the sanctity of the day itself, independent of any particular mitzvah. This difference reflects a profound idea. The holiness of the other festivals is inherent in the day, established by the Torah. In contrast, the days of Chanukah possess no intrinsic sanctity. Instead, their holiness is created through our performance of the mitzvah—lighting the Chanukah candles, which themselves are endowed with holiness. Therefore, the Shehechiyanu is recited over the lights. The holiness of Chanukah’s days is brought into the world through the mitzvah of lighting the Menorah. When our souls are stirred by the radiance and holiness of the Chanukah lights, we naturally express joy through the Shehechiyanu blessing. Today: Infuse your Chanukah with holiness by lighting the Chanukah candles with intention and awareness. Recognize the sanctity of the lights, and recite the Shehechiyanu with heartfelt joy. Donate May the souls who left this world be remembered for a blessing.

SF - # Hashem's Hidden Medicine

The journey is beautiful

“And they said to Yoseph, ‘We dreamt a dream, but there is no interpreter for it.’ Yoseph said to them, ‘Do not interpretations belong to HaShem? Tell me your dream, if you please.’” HaShem’s method of healing differs profoundly from the ways of man. A physician heals by opposite means—he cuts with a scalpel, then repairs with bandages and medicine. But HaShem heals with the very force that caused the wound. Yoseph suffered because he spoke boastfully about his dreams to his brothers, yet HaShem ultimately saved him through dreams—the dreams of Pharaoh’s cupbearer and baker. This follows the principle expressed in the verse: “A time of trouble for Yaacov, yet from the very trouble will his salvation sprout.” (Jeremiah 30:7) Amazingly, the healing power of HaShem is embedded within the very hardships He sends us. Recognizing that our challenges contain the precise spiritual remedy we need is the key to inner peace. Even when difficulties feel bitter, we can endure them with calm and clarity, knowing that they deliver HaShem’s healing directly into our soul. Imagine Yoseph standing before his brothers, recounting his dreams that they would one day bow to him. Soon afterward, terrible hardships descend upon him. Sold into slavery, exiled, and imprisoned—yet Yoseph never lets go of his trust in HaShem. He endures because he knows that within his suffering lies HaShem’s hidden medicine. Today: Strengthen your trust that every hardship HaShem sends carries within it the perfect remedy for your soul’s growth and elevation. (Based on Midrash Tanchuma and the teachings of the Ba’al Shem Tov.) Donate May the souls who left this world be remembered for a blessing.
