Description
Based on the sefer Toras Ha'Ro'eh by R' Areleh Har'el. At Har Sinai, Hashem spoke to us "bekol gadol velo yasaf" (with a great sound that did not cease/continue). How did Hashem continue to communicate with us after Matan (giving of the) Torah? We must daven (pray) to Hashem so that He reveals to us and we understand the secrets of Torah, Nevi'im and Kesuvim. The wisdom of Greece, secularism, is the exact opposite of Torah she'ba'al peh (oral Torah) - which is a revelation to the hearts and minds of the Jewish People. Why do we not have a tractate Chanukah, especially since there are so many laws associated with Chanukah? The human mind cannot comprehend Chanukah - thus it was not allowed to be written. Chanukah is the greatest post-Sinai revelation of Torah - how is it possible that so many Yeshivos are on vacation? Chassidus is the last link in the chain of revelation of the secrets of Torah. The Ba'al HaTanya's niggun among the opponents of Chassidus. A niggun straightens out the crookedness in the heart. Even when we feel that all is lost, it is never too late - The Ba'al HaTanya didn't give up, Dovid HaMelech didn't give up, we didn't give up after the Holocaust.
