MESSAGE FROM RABBI CHINSKEY:
Parshas: Meiketz
The Halacha regarding Chanukah candles is that the proper time to light is when everyone was returning from the market place “until there are no more people (literally feet) in the market place”. The Kedushat Levi interprets this phrase homiletically that the Chanukah Candles should be lit so that we can get rid of השוק מן הרגל meaning our habits. It is very hard for us to change, and we all have habits that we have fallen into. The goal of the Menorah is to wake us up to change, to break of our habits and grow into our true selves. Indeed, this may be the explanation for why the Greeks banned Rosh Chodesh along with Bris Milah and Shabbat. Rosh Chodesh represents rejuvenation and growth. It represents the ability, just like the moon, to rejuvenate and change back to our better selves. Therefore, although the Greeks may have had positive traits, as they were the children of Yefet, they are only within the physical world. In the physical world change is hard if not impossible. But the Menorah and the Jewish people represent the spirit, and in that world a person is constantly growing and changing into the greatest version of themselves.
Have a Wonderful Shabbos!
