Description

The Four Kindoms, the four stages of exile, are built into the fabric of Creation itself according to the Midrash. How do we overcome these Kingdoms? Hashem teaches us with His response of "Yehi Ohr", "Let there be light!" The Greeks tried to blind us to the Godly light that we carry within us and to survive exile we have to keep the light of connection to God burning brightly and guiding us on the way to redemption. (Nesivos Shalom, Chanukah: Mai Chanukah pp. 11-12)
