Shema-Chanukah- Unified Light
“May we all speedily merit His light.” It is essential to know that the Master, Blessed is He, is a Unity, and His light will only illuminate in a manner that unifies His Presence in Creation.
The people of Israel, although numerous are still called, “Goy echad,” a Singular Nation, and in that unity they can merit to receive Divine Illumination. (Ramchal, Ma’amar HaCHochmah)
It is only when we ask for us “all” as a unified nation, that we can merit God’s light.
“Unity can only reside in a Unity.” (Introduction to Shav Shmietta in the name of the Zohar, Korach)
