Chanuka Maamarim. Three types of candles exist: 1) The Menora in the Beis Hamikdash, 2) Shabbos Candles, 3) Chanuka Candles. The first two are lighted by day as they are Aharon's lighting up the Jewish Souls "in the place of light", while Chanuka Candles light up the Jewish Soul "in the place of darkness'. This Maamar includes a most clear explanation of the idea of "Hoil vlahem Yerida meOhr Panav Yisborech", that the higher worlds are a descent from Him while this world is not {part of the Dira BiTachtonim issue]. Vayeshev: above work and yerida tzorach aliya is real and constant peace that is after descending into Eretz Migurei Aviv and (lower stilll) Eretz Kinaan. Later he descends further into Mitzrayim and achieves an even higher VaYechi! How this ties into Chanuka, Golus etc. 7 Mitzvos of the Ribanan, elevate the left [as if we were to say "Smol mikareves"], but only once the 613 Mitzvos diOraisa have made a Keli for the right side. This explains much about Chanuka licht: Their 1) side (left) 2) number (eight) 3) time (after dark) and location 4) (outside). This Maamar is Muga. The number eight is higher than order, but not all "eighths" are equal. The eighth of Miluim is relative to Hishtalshelus, while the eighth of Chanuka is connected with Atzmus. The Chanuka candles celebrate the war. The candles are the Candles of the Neshama and (Torah and) Mitzvos. The G-Dliness reveled at the time of Chanuka , in the darkness, comes from very high. It joins with regular everyday life and light of a Yid. Veatta BiRachamecha 5748. Chanuka celebrates (the days and ) numbers 24, 25, and 26. We (nowadays) celebrate only 25- WHY.
