Today on The 3rd Day of Chanukah, the weather temps are springtime-ish, and there is no snow, no ice, no stumbling on a frosty sidewalk, synagogues' Chanukah Dinner Parties are filled up not able to take on anymore participants due to overwhelming responses.
As each Xmas song sings to try to force people to buy, buy, buy, we can change the songs to songs about the baby Moses, and like a miracle in my life, the yellows get brighter all around me and the songs sound more beautiful! The light of the afternoon sunshine pours down warmer into my bedroom and toasts my body parts as I lay there in bed resting after a full Chanukah lunch.
Chairs without cushions become softer as the lights become brighter, computers seem faster than usual, and creative ideas are increasing like blessings are lighted as each Chanukah candle is lighted. Pure Cerulean blue flames shooting upwards like fireworks, blues and no reds, like the colors of the Israeli Flag, blues so pure that the blue waters could not be purer than these blue flames.
Hot fired nights, darkness disappearing, truth abounding, a true miracle has happened, a cup of oil that was meant to last for one night, lasted instead for 8. We have a true miracle, the Jews won the battle against the Assyrian Greeks with only one cup of oil to light our way, just a few Jews against thousands of hateful attacking Greeks, we won, we won, we will always win.
What we won is the truth of Torah to guide our lives, lives filled with miracles, and the unity of the family/community of Jews, supporting each other as landsmen, as comrades, as brothers and sisters, having The Promised Land of Israel as our eternal Homeland, we now are One, as in One G-d. Echad.
