Podcast (shiurim): Download (Duration: 4:35 — 2.1MB)

It’s forbidden to use the Chanukah lights for personal benefit. The tzaddikim are compared to the lights of the menorah (36 lights total parallel the 36 tzaddikim in Eretz Yisrael and the 36 tzaddikim in the rest of the world). We don’t attach ourselves to a tzaddik for personal gain, only for spiritual reasons. Speaker: Rabbi Nasan Maimon.
