Description

On Zos Chanukah, the 8th day, the final seal is put on the judgment from Rosh Hashana, according to an oral tradition from the Arizal. At Chanukah, the time of darkness, we light our candles, which brings us to l'hodos (to thank) and l'hallel (to praise). If we say, "It will be good", then Hashem says, "It will be good." The neiros (candles) are not allowed in the house - they are supposed to be outside. Beis (the House of) Yosef is that place that is clean and pure, but there are things blocking us from getting there. The main thing is that while you are outside, sing. The letter 'Heh' in Chanukah is the gate, the letter of teshuvah.
