Chanuka For Real
What if you only have eight lights for the entire Chanuka?
Most say, light one each night.
Some say, save all eight for the last night.
Rav Shteiman says, one the first, two the second, three the third, and trust in Hashem.
Chanuka Sameach!

Chanuka Sameach!
On Chanukah We Celebrate
The miraculous menorah activity
At least the Rambam feels that way
Most Jews do too
All other holidays
Are based on miracles
That were critical for our survival
Chanuka doesn’t fit
Celebration seems unwarranted
We don’t create holidays
For all our miracles
We’d never have any down time
Yaakov Avinu Had His Reasons
Bowed to Esav
And called him master
Mordechai was Yaakov
And Haman Esav
Didn’t bow
And not his master
Why not?
Love At First Sight
Yaakov Avinu falls for it
Right?
Check again
ויהי כאשר ראה יעקב את רחל
Vayehi is an expression of pain
Love came later
What brought it out?
Another One Bites The Dust
Marriage and burial
Equalized by chesed
Long Live The King
Can’t Walk To Israel
Not from New Jersey
Immerse and traverse
The Atlantic mikveh
Hi tide crashing
Your stale party
Highwave to One
H to O
Eliezer Wants It In Writing
And that’s perfectly fine
For a donkey
We all want it in writing too
We’re perfectly fine
Being donkeys
Just be תמים
With Hashem
Trust Him
More than your best friend
Daven
You won’t be a donkey
Yishmael’s Purpose in Life
To avenge the abuse inflicted on Hagar
See Ramban (16:6)
We misbehave
Yishmael’s on the way
Custodian of Israel
While we suffer exile
Eventually educate us
To get our prayers heard
Noach And Company
Are told again and again
Be fruitful and multiply
This is one of the taryag mitzvos
Why isn’t it one of the seven mitzvos of Bnei Noach?
