So Many “NO”s; One Big “YES”!! - Chanukah 2024

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Kalish’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Right here to soon after we sit here and learn together and light the menorah. It's precious mitzvah menorah. So, I want to try for myself. This is You I pra- If you wouldn't be sitting here, I would do myself. I want to I want to get my- I want to learn the sugias and be be present when I light the menorah. I want to share that there's many thoughts lighting the menorah, many different thoughts. I want to give a specific thought. I I wanted to start just a practical thing. At our minyan, we just finished mincha and we usually do these days a short shmona esrei, which means the chazzan davens till till till kedusha. We say kedusha and then the tzibur begins. On Chanukah, we won't be doing that. Tomorrow, we won't be here for mincha. When we come back, we'll have a mincha. We'll only have one day of Chanukah together. When we come back, we'll have a day tonight and tomorrow we're leaving before mincha. But on on Chanukah, we don't do a short shmona esrei. And the reason is is because in chazarat shatz, we say al hanisim. And each time we say it is pirsum hanisa, it's b'mei farsem hanes. So, we don't want to skip even one. So, by mincha, I'm makpid a long shmona esrei that the shatz should say the entire chazarat shatz, should say al hanisim. In tfilah, you should speak out and be mefarsem hanes. To say it quietly is funny for the shatz. He should announce it publicly. So, it's true we all say al hanisim in our private shmona esrei, but it's a huge mitzvah. Lefarsem means to publicize the miracle. Not to say al hanisim out loud would be weird. So, we're going to daven full shmona
