Podcast (shiurim): Download (Duration: 13:27 — 6.2MB)

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.

PARAGRAPH 18. Similar to the search for Yosef HaTzaddik, it’s crucial for every person to search for the tzaddik in our own generation. To begin and then to continue that quest, we need to ask for Hashem’s help every day.
