FESTIVALS AND SEASONS OF THE YEAR: Chanukah: Through the mitzvah of kindling the lights of Chanukah we acknowledge the glory of God. His glory is exalted and magnified in the world. Those who were distant from Him are stirred to return. We can attain true fear of Heaven, harmony in the home and genuine prayer. Strife and malicious slander are banished and universal peace spreads in all the worlds (Likutey Moharan 14).
מוֹעֲדֵי ה' – חֲנֻכָּה
א. עַל־יְדֵי מִצְוַת נֵר חֲנֻכָּה מֵאִיר כְּבוֹד הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ וְנִתְעַלֶּה וְנִתְגַּדֵּל כְּבוֹדוֹ בָּעוֹלָם, וּמְעוֹרְרִין הָרְחוֹקִים לָשׁוּב לְהַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ, וְזוֹכִין לְיִרְאָה וְלִשְׁלוֹם בַּיִת וְלִתְפִלָּה, וְנִתְבַּטֵּל הַמַּחֲלֹקֶת וְלָשׁוֹן הָרָע, וְנִמְשָׁךְ שָׁלוֹם הַכְּלָלִי בְּכָל הָעוֹלָמוֹת: (לק"א סי' י"ד אות י"ב)
