Ner Chanukah: A Mitzvah Chaviva

Rambam says that the Chanukah lights are a mitzvah chaviva hi ad meod, or an exceedingly precious or cherished mitzvah (Hilchot Megillah v'Chanukah 4:12). By taking on the mitzvah of the Menorah precisely as HaShem commanded, Aharon embodied and delivered on the essence of what the Menorah symbolized Be of the disciples of Aharon, loving peace and pursuing peace, loving mankind and drawing them close to the Torah.โ€ From Aharon and the Menorah to the miracle of Chanukah and the rededication of the Holy Temple, we have the Chanukiyah. Although the mitzvah of lighting the Chanukiyah could be performed through a spouse, partner, or shaliach, it's such a precious and cherished mitzvah that โ€” like Aharon with the Menorah โ€”

The Difference: Menorah versus Chanukiyah

Each night of Chanukah the shamash is lit first and then the candles are lit one by one for each night, from left to right (unless you follow another tradition or opinion). And six branches are running out from its sides, three branches of the lamp-stand from its one side and three branches of the lamp-stand from its other side. Three cups shaped like flowers of almond are on the one set of branches, with knobs and blossoms alternating, and three cups shaped like flowers of almond on the other set of branches, with knobs and blossoms alternating. And on the lamp-stand are four cups shaped like flowers of almond, with its knobs and its blossoms alternating.

Holiday Lights: Reconciling Traditions from a Non-Jewish Childhood for My Jewish Kids

Weโ€™d get out the boxes and boxes of Christmas ornaments and set up the Christmas tree with painstaking precision. When we lived in Southern Missouri, a short drive from the Precious Moments Park & Chapel, weโ€™d drive out every year for Christmas to see the light displays there and go through a drive-through display at a large Catholic Vietnamese institute run by a group of priests. One year, when she finally decided she was done with Christmas and the tree, she sent me one of her mirrored ornaments shaped like the Star of David, so I could always have a piece of the family tree with me. Giant inflatable Santa Clauses and nativity scenes aside, the lights are bringing a beautiful light into the darkest time of the year, and itโ€™s an innocent way I can bring my children into a space that for me has great meaning and history.
