Chanukah 5779

by Mordechai Dolinsky

 

A new insight to the ruchnius of Chanukah.  Besides the regular kedusha of the fulfillment of all the mitzvos that are connected to Chanukah, over the complete 8 days min HaShomayim there comes a special ruach of inspiration of chizuk in bitachon v’emunah for all Klal Yisroel.

 

The pirsumai nissah of Chanukah is how the Shchinah showed itself so very outstandingly clearly.  How a small minority group of neemanei Ha Torah were victorious over an extremely massive army of sonai Hashem and the Torah.  This is the light of the Menora; the Torah that was saved, this is the light of the Menora.

 

Have a true aliya from the pirsumeir nissah and a freilichen Chanukah.

Parshas Mikaitz (5779)

By Mordechai Dolinsky

 

All the items in the dream have significant meaning.  One such factor can easily go completely noticed and in Paroah’s dream I am sure it does by all.  He opens both dreams with himself actually standing at the יאור and makes sure to recall this to Yosef.  Perhaps this can mean that Pharoah just like everything else in the dream was subjects, not in control just like the cows and the wheat.  When בני ישראל arrived he had at his accessibility a nation of the highest intelligence and talents.  This was just ripe for the most advanced nation and Pharoah as a פרה followed Yosef’s direction of having Klal Yisroel completely occupied as isolated shepherds; part of the great effort against assilimation with the Egyptians.

 

Have an inspiring uplifting Shabbos חנוכה.
