Machshava:

Chanukah 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Reb Leibele Eiger

Description

A blizzard did not deter thousands from attending the levaya (funeral) of Reb Leibele. His Friday night tisch (gathering of Chassidim) lasted to daybreak. Each section of his commentary on Chumash starts with one of the Shabbos zemiros (songs). The miracle of Chanukah is the culmination of all previous miracles. Chanukah gives power to all subsequent miracles. The entire story of Yoseph and his brothers is filled with the message of Chanukah. Reb Leibele sometimes entered a trance and spoke Torah with his mouth open, but without moving his lips.
