We remind ourselves on Hanukkah that He performed miracles for our ancestors in those days, at this time, it is said that the Creator of the world performed miracles in the past, at this time, the Rambam also writes that Hanukkah is a mitzvah, a mitzvah that is very, very, very Hanukkah is a mitzvah, a mitzvah that is very, very, very nice. That is to say, the Rambam says that Hanukkah is a miracle of Hanukkah, such a great miracle, such a wonderful, so very, very sharp, so very true. The truth is, we were asked a small question among the people of Israel. Scholars in miracles among the people of Israel. Scholars in miracles. The Red Sea is a great miracle. And later, scholars in miracles, not only among the people of Israel in general, we found many righteous people. The Gemara says, as it was said in the Book of Reh in Dosah, He said, "Whoever keeps oil burning, let him say to vinegar, and it will burn instead of oil. Its name is vinegar, and its name is oil, like light. We found in the Book of Reh in all generations, the sages of Israel light. We found in the Book of Reh in all generations, the sages of Israel made changes above nature. So what is so special about the miracle of Hanukkah? The oil burned for eight days. This is not unusual in the people of Israel, and here it is considered a special matzah. First, let's think carefully
