Trusting the Benefit: The Great Avodah of Faith
Access the Energy of Chanukah
There are times during the year that we get extra siyata d’Shamaya in certain areas. On Hanukkah, we are able to access a special spiritual energy to help us get closer to Hashem. At the time of the Hanukkah miracle, the Jewish People risked their lives to fight the Greeks. What were they fighting for? Their lives were not at risk. They were fighting to be able to follow Torah and mitzvot and serve Hashem properly. When Hashem saw how much His People yearned for His Torah, that is when He performed great miracles for them, enabling them to defeat the Greek army. He continued performing more miracles for them, enabling them to light the Menorah for eight days with pure olive oil. Today when we light our Hanukkah candles, they radiate kedusha. Just looking at the flames can purify a person’s eyes. While the candles are burning, it’s an עת רצון to pray, especially for help with Torah and mitzvot.
Every Jew wants to be close to Hashem, even the most distant ones. We just need to bring it out of them properly. On Hanukkah, there is an extra siyata d’Shamaya to accomplish it.
