Countdown To Chanukah 29



Just as there is a concept of Tosefet Kedusha – adding onto – Shabbat and the Festivals, by beginning early and ending late, so too, there is a Mitzvah to add on to Chanukah. (Sha’ar Hakavanot, Inyan Chanukah)

The entire idea of Chanukah is Oral Law. The festival is not biblical. Its essence is our ability to transform what is mundane into something holy.
