Kelly...Comments from FaceBook version of the post:<br /><br />Kelly: Beautiful. Shabbat Shalom, Choni<br /><br />Yamile: Shabbat Shalom Dear Choni ! Amazingly beautiful post. !!!<br /><br />Eric: Shabbat Shalom, Choni.<br /><br />Renee: Beautiful..Shabbat Shalom to you & yours.<br /><br />Brenda: Great lesson Choni <br /><br />Batya: Very meaningful<br /><br />Debbie: Shabbat Shalom! Thank you for the information! Shammai, & Hillel didn't seem to agree a lot. That disagreement caused Channukkah Candles to be placed one way into the Menorah, & lit another way. I keep confusing which way is for putting the candles in, & which way is lighting them.<br /><br />Choni : Shavuah Tov Kelly, Yamile, Eric, Renee, Brenda, Batya & Debbie. <br /><br />Choni: To Debbie, Shammai held that we begin on the first night with eight candles, continue on the second night with seven ... until the 8th night we light one. Hillel held we do the opposite. We light one on the first night ... add one on each night ... until we're at eight candles on the eight night. Again this underscores the same theme. Shammai sought the potential which lies at the core of things. Therefore, we start with many and slowly eliminate multiplicity until we're at one - hinting at the most perfect state of existence, the Creator's Oneness. Here, all potential for everything exists at it's most ideal. In contrast, Hillel was interested only in the potential that can be practically actualized. So he touched the potential on the first day, by lighting one candle, and then added a candle each day to symbolize that whatever spiritual potential he caught is now being extended into further and further ...Chonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10279879507351594239noreply@blogger.com
