A visit from Rabbi Sollish to KDH is always a special treat.
What did we discuss today?
Why do we celebrate Chanukah? How many days do we
celebrate? Do oil and water mix? And
finally, what lesson do we learn from lighting candles and fire?
We watched Rabbi Sollish take one candle as
the shamash and light the wick in the olive oil. Then Rabbi Sollish filled a cup with water. He poured some of the water into a second cup from the first cup.
Now, there was less water in the first cup. But what had happened when Rabbi Sollish used the flame from the shamash to light the menorah? The fire from the shamash did not diminish! When we study and
teach Torah or help others, what we have is not diminished!
What an interesting
Chanukah thought. Thank you, Rabbi Sollish. Please come back again, soon.
