One must try to always place himself before the Divine Presence, fulfilling this with trust and faith in God to such an extent that, as the sages say, one should always try to give more and more to God. This way, we are always coming closer to the Holy Blessed One, though, in essence. there is no closer or farther. for God fills and transcends all existence. and through it all is unchanging. Sometimes this giving to God may. in a way. be against our nature. but if we do this without retaliating, God does the same for us. 18 Rabbi Miller explains to us how Jacob discovered the gate of Heaven on earth among simple natural objects around him. Moses attained his lofty prophetic stature from seclusion in the desert. God revealed himself to all Israel on the mountain. The people of Israel wandered forty years in the wilderness to compensate for their urban dwelling in Egypt. While dwelling in the Promised Land, they lived a simple. natural life, dwelling in tents for centuries. It was not until the time of King Solomon that they turned to luxuries and this is the very thing that contributed largely to their downfall.
Repeatedly, the people of Israel have been despoiled of their possessions and compelled to live simple lives. The physical possessions of Israel throughout history seem to be separated from them as a lamb in season is sheared of its coat. Being denied places to live they were forced to seek. refuge in the bosom of nature (the Name Elokim).19 Yaakov in the Torah is called a simple man because he accepted whatever the Torah said with out any question, he did not complicate his life. We see that in the past. the path used by Israel to ascend to God has been living a life excluding what people today call luxuries, living a simple life. The ultimate expression of this elimination of physicality is found in the circumstance of Moses being alone with God on Mount Sinai for forty days and forty nights. Yet all Israel spent much time in the desert, away from the habitations of men. Such living allows the mind to be free from the burdens of material concerns and allows one to spend a great amount of time contemplating the greatness of the Creator. from Whom all life comes.
Rabbi Miller further shows us, concerning our way of life, that all one’s spirit. body, wealth, ability. and power are given to promote and preserve the world in righteousness and love. The earth is not ours, but we belong to the earth to respect it as Divine soil, and every one of its creatures is a fellow being to respect and love. As such. we endeavor to bring it closer to its goal according to the will of Elokim. These words indicate the sublime mission and lofty privilege of man.

This all shines on Chanukah. חן (favor) from the revelation of the 8 days of Chanukah is as a Temple offering or “Brit Mealah” (circucision) which both must wait till the 8th day. We receive זאת (SHECHINAH) Chanukah by the revelation of the oil (Chuhmah) that illuminates making one’s face to Shine. This Shining is חן. This is what one must find in their wife (Shechinah) as said in the end of Gemora Gitten. The כלה (bride) being the Shechinah. This being revealed as the perfection of man. This is the “Gadlut” (greatness) of Yaakov which is called Yisrael. This is the סלום (ladder) from heaven. This is the ו . In this time of Chanukah “dedication”, this is accomplished by doing what Yehuda Ha Makaabe stood for rebelling against what Yavan represents which is striving for beauty alone without the discretion or recognition of Hashem which, thus the pursuit of beauty becomes completely a reflection of the love of the body, and self love. Thus we see reason for their obsession with sports, the human body the main theme of their visual arts, and there obsession with abstract intellectual thought. All the things have only one end the glorification of one self, this is the ultimate product of the philosophy of the Greeks, but when the letter צ ‘sawde’ is added to the word’ Yavan’ (Greek) it becomes Zion. Thus when one adds ‘sawde’ representing yesod, the power of making the most complete revelation of Hashem out of all things and places. Perfect uprightness ,acting as a sadeek. Then true perfect beauty is realized. So, on Chanukah we need to dedicate to Hashem the beauty that which is unique to ourselves as we each have a different face. So our relationship to Hashem is a personal thing . It is our personal expression of beauty in Divine service. We see in the writing of our sages so many things called “hadar mitzvah”, which is performing the mitzvah in a way which is more than is required by the letter of the law. This is why Chanukah is called holiday of the Oral Torah. All Yisrael are required to fulfill the 613 commandments of the Torah. Since we don’t have a temple now, may it be rebuilt soon some mitzvot involving temple service and other mitzvot due to our lackings can only be fulfilled by learning about them. All the mitzvot that we do bind us together. This is the fulfillment of the letter of the law but this is not enough, as it says in the Talmud ” if only the letter of the law was fulfilled, no one could exist “. If one only does the least that is required what kind of love does this express ?.
