You’re Lighting the Candles — But Are You Feeling Chanukah?

Rabbi Avraham Willig

Lighting the candles is the physical act of Chanukah, but what is the emotion that is supposed to accompany this action? Rabbi Avraham Willig examines the inner essence of the holiday centered on the ability to thank and to praise, offering insight into the human nature of focusing only on what we lack. Through everyday examples, we are invited to shift from a list of missing items to a list of blessings, discovering how to turn the act of lighting into a deep experience of gratitude.
