There is something special about the Hanukkah candles.

The light is ethereal.

Apparently, in the lights we find some holiness of the lights of the Beit Hamikdash / Holy Temple that stood in Jerusalem.

I drive through the somber streets on a cloudy or rainy day.

I feel the darkness outside.

I have at times strayed from the good path and felt darkness inside.

How can we capture the light and keep it in our homes and hearts?

Keep the connection with Judaism.

Learning Torah regularly brings light inside.

Doing Mitzvot enlightens life.

Like it says “Because a Mitzvah is a Candle and Torah is Light…” (Mishle 6:23)

Keep connected to the one who said “Let there be light.”
