Chanukah

Description

Please be aware that the last 15 minutes of this shiur were mysteriously cut off. We felt, however, that it was important to miss as little as possible within the series. According to the opinion of Beis Hillel (the school of Hillel) the holiest day of Chanukah is the eighth night. According to the opinion of Beis Shamai (the school of Shamai) the holiest day of Chanukah is the first night. The difference between our reaction and the reaction of the tzaddikim (righteous people) when Mashiach (Messiah) comes. Beis Hillel's approach to life was with optimism. Do we live in the way of Beis Hillel? The light of Chanukah is the belief that Hashem is always with us.
