Chanukah Meditation

Lets us delve into the light of Chanukah the light of our souls.

"The Candle of God is the soul of man"(Proverbs 20:27) is a profound and poetic expression often attributed to King Solomon, reflecting the idea that the soul within each person is a divine spark, a source of illumination and connection to the divine. It suggests that, like a candle radiating light, the human soul serves as a beacon of spiritual insight, wisdom, and connection to the divine presence. This metaphor highlights the sacred and luminous nature of the human soul in various spiritual and philosophical traditions.

In the teachings of the Arizal regarding "L'hadlik," the act of kindling the Chanukah lights takes on a profound significance. According to these teachings, the lighting of the candle, or "Ner," represents a luminous gateway to illuminating our inner child, invoking the three sacred names of G-d.

Picture the flickering flame as more than a mere candle; it becomes a conduit for divine energy, resonating with the triad of divine name combinations. Each illumination during the Chanukah ritual embodies the essence of these holy names, symbolizing a pathway to ignite. our soul's infinite light ✨
