Simple Pleasures: Not taking Mitzvot for Granted
Seize the Opportunity
In general, a parent's tefilot on behalf of their children's success in Torah and mitzvot goes a very long way, but now, specifically on Chanukah, parents have a golden opportunity to utilize these days for extra heartfelt tefilot which count even more. The Yosef Ometz writes, as well as the Peleh Yo'etz, that right after lighting the Chanukah candles, the women should pray for their sons to be illuminated in Torah because during that time it is an et ratzon and the tefilot go straight to Shamayim. The sefer Chanukah B'Tzion writes when the parents light the Chanukah candles, they should make sure that their children are present, because each child is like a candle and when the parent lights, they are also illuminating the neshama of each child as well.
There is so much kedusha at the time of hadlakat nerot and we should utilize this great opportunity on all eight nights of Chanukah.
Chanukah Sameach!!
