Machshava:

Chanukah 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Chanuka

Description

Life is like a mountain that we need to climb and conquer. A home without shalom (peace) is more difficult than the final war of the end of days. During his 22 years of mourning, Yaakov held the world on his shoulders. Even in the worst place, a jail in Egypt, Yoseph kept his composure and emerged as king of the universe. Before we move forward toward the geula (redemption), we need to experience the pains of Moshiach. Every day we should do something constructive, adding a new candle like at Chanukah, to get us closer to the geula.
