Part 2: Idea of Chanuka. Torah and neshamos. Text: p 35 First Paragraph. To the outside: The purpose of the Chanukah Licht is for pirsumei HaNes. Put the licht in the doorway on the LEFT side opposite the mezzuza. If there is no mezzuza, put it on the right side. Questions: 1) Why to the outside? 2) Why on the left? 3) what is the relationship to the mezzuza? 4) Why 8 not 7? 5) Why on the right if no mezzuza? Answer: To fix the LEFT side ( the Sitra Achera) facing the Reshus HaRabim because it can also fix the klipa. Three knots: Hashem to Yidden – Hashem to Torah – Torah to Yidden Torah is HaShem’s Light, His Chochma, His Reflection, but not His Essence. Yidden being from Hashem’s Etzem have Free Will, but are not a Reflection of Hashem. Yid needs the Torah to teach him how to be a Jew. Torah needs the Yid to infuse it with Atzmus Hashem through Mesiras Nefesh.
