Machshava:

Chanukah 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Chanuka

Description

If we truly search for the truth, we can find it within ourselves. The Oral Torah is concealed within the souls of the Jewish people. We all have a portion in the Torah that belongs to us. We learn from the Chanukas HaMishkan (dedication of the Sanctuary) that we know in our heart what is right. The Greeks wanted to take away the portion of Torah that is within each of our hearts. Hashem wants us individually to light our own candle.
