Hanukkah - Selected Excerpts from the Sources, #10

54. R. We already talked about this holiday it is a very special holiday or festival when the created being reaches a degree of Bina from the will to receive in order to receive it performed a restriction and began to receive the upper light which created corrections in it and then all the desire received the intention to bestow, bestowing in order to bestow this is called the created being with achieving the degree of Bina. This is why we have this understanding, this holiday called Hanukkah.

Excerpt 10 Reader (00:55 - 01:19)

55. R. The whole difference between the Jews is that they want unity with the Creator to unite with the Creator, which is why they are called Jews as opposed to the Greeks. It doesn't matter who it is really, it has nothing to do with nations; it is how the forces are called in spirituality, so the Greeks, who are drawn not to above reason but to the opposite within reason.

Reader continues ”the Greeks specifically, in the days of the Hasmoneans....”(01:52 - 02:25)

56. R. If a person who wants to get closer to the Creator and acquire some vessels of bestowal he wants to reach the level of Bina, he made great efforts in his corrections in his society, in his ten in learning and in everything. He is really already having a feeling of the aim in order to bestow. Then forces from the opposite of in order to bestow forces of separation awaken in him, pulling him back into the intention to receive this is called the Greeks jumping on me. When desire to receive awakening me in order to receive what am I going to do with them? We learn what we have to do with them, we have to wage an internal war upon them to fight against these desires that say you don't need to go above reason in bestowal into connection, stay in this world however you can work with it correctly and enjoy it. That is the approach of the Greeks as opposed to the approach of the Maccabees which is to rise up to the Creator and in between these two views and a person the wisdom of Kabbalah speaks only about what happens within a person.

According to what the wisdom of Kabbalah says now we are at war here, on one hand I have the inclination to discover the Creator to reveal the soul and on the other hand my life says no, let's have fun, let us eat and drink and have a ball. That is all we need. It is better if we do it this way without immersing ourselves and all kinds of spiritual phenomena and then a person is at war and this war symbolizes. Hanukkah symbolizes it which is entirely in darkness and in the end how do we come to the right result from the war by coming to a state where a person feels that he is under the control of the Greeks meaning his will to receive controls him absolutely he has no choice of emerging, of succeeding, because the Creator created him this way. Then a person searches within him, is there anything within me, he finds this tiny shred of connection with the Creator and then he yells help to the Creator and the Creator who connects to the person to pull him out of the aim to receive, out of the ego this is called lighting a candle for him. Then a person gradually emerges from this darkness to the light and lights up this candle, this connection with the Creator there is nothing more than that but because what he lit up is connected to the Creator and the Creator is eternal, this candle burns on and on and on and the oil doesn't end. This way a person comes out of the intention to receive, to the aim to bestow and attains Hanukkah, the degree of Bina - to bestow in order to bestow.

57. S. (06:26) Can you advise us what the spirit has to be for today's Yeshivat Haverim taking into consideration it is right after such a congress and the spirit of Hanukkah?

R. Beautiful, thank you for asking the question. Yeshivat Haverim, assembly of friends, should be simple, we have connection with the Creator that we didn't have before, let us maintain and keep that connection to constantly keep it burning, that then out of this tiny connection, this tiny candle that we can develop a very great light, increasingly more until we come to receive in order to bestow, until we come to the end of correction because Hanukkah is only midway. Let us feel that we are in this midway and we only have to maintain the connection that we have attained at the Congress to develop it more, not stopping, if we stop it is death, we only need to keep going. Now we have a stop to rearrange ourselves and think how we are now attacking our ego and we are going for greater and greater connection, each one must feel that he has the power to rise above his ego and now he can begin to unite about his ego and above the friends ego, each one above their ego this is called above all of the crimes, my crimes and his crimes, love will cover it, the connection. Let us begin to implement this love, love will cover all crimes this is what we have to start doing after the Congress in the connection between us. Talk about this this evening. Good luck to you. Clear?

58. S. (09:47) What does it mean that a person responds instantly when he gets alien thoughts to work for the friends? Is this the right way to do it?

R. Why are you asking me if it's written about it?

S. Do I have to stay in the left and exert or right away cover it with love?

R. Cover it with love immediately and do think before you ask.

Excerpt 11 Reader (10:16 - 13:07) reads twice

59. R. We have to study this text more and more, it is a very important excerpt. Let's hope people study it during the day and the evening, we will see you at the Yeshivat Haverim, the assembly of friends, and we will see how to advance further.
