What’s said in this shiur

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

okay so today for paraa illuminated I wanted to talk about Kaneka so we're not going to have the para part but we will have the illuminated part still uh um as we speak about khaka so uh first of all as a uh a note I did speak in sh at sh this pavis and uh what I said is what I'm about to say now just in the that was the 5 minute version and this is the uh extended version and this is the uh extended version that uh so uh so I am repeating myself but most of it is is not repetition um okay so we know when it comes to khaka there's there are a number of things that the rabbis enacted that we should do but most famously of course is lighting the manura each night but in addition to that when the when the gar tells us a little bit of the background tells us a little bit of the background story of khah the gar tells us that there are two things we're supposed to do so is in says when the Greeks enter the sanctuary they defiled all of the oils that were there and uh when the Honan monarchy overcame them when the Honan monarchy overcame them and defeated them they searched and they could only find one jug of oil that still had the Seal of the high priest and that would show it had been tampered with and it was not but in this this uh jug was only enough to light for one night but Nason but a miracle
