CHABAD ‫ב"ה‬ RESEARCH UNIT Free Summaries of the Rebbe’s Chassidic Discourses ‫בלי אחריות כלל וכלל‬ ‫ רבת את ריבם פרשת מקץ תשכ"ח בלתי מוגה‬..‫ד"ה ועל הנסים‬ Published for Shabbat Sedra Miketz 4th Tevet 5784, 16 December 20231 G-D FIGHTS THE BATTLE THE VE-AL HANISIM PRAYER INSERTED IN THE AMIDAH AND GRACE AFTER MEALS during Chanuka briefly describes the events celebrated by the Chanuka festival. Only when one loathes evil (which might mean a determination to do something about it) is there true rejection of evil; otherwise, it is possible for there to be a certain flow from evil percolating into one’s being. The Chanuka radiance achieves this transformation of the negative by drawing from the realm beyond the downchaining of worlds – from the exalted level hinted at in the words ‘And G-d will illuminate my darkness’. Chabad Research Unit – www.chabadresearch.net – cru@lubavitchuk.com The difference between these two levels - turning aside from evil, and loathing evil - is discussed by the Rebbe Maharash3. It is an expression of G-d ‘redeeming in peace’ my soul, because of ‘the many who are with me’, meaning that the ‘many’ who were formerly enemies have changed sides and our now ‘with me’6. In Kabbalistic terms, this distinction is like that between the lower worlds of Beriah-Yetzirah-Assiyah (Creation-Formation-Action), and the higher world of Atzilut (Emanation). In order to illuminate the darkness, there has to be a flow from a very exalted level, described as the Higher Tetragrammaton, a level beyond the downchaining of the worlds. The Tzaddik, especially the complete Tzaddik, does not experience such thoughts, because the Tzaddik has neutralized or transformed the Animal Soul completely. The Midrash says they were forced to declare publicly that they had no portion in the G-d of Israel, meaning that they were forced to deny their Faith in G-d. Unlike in the case of Purim, when the whole people were united and stood firm in their Judaism, at Chanuka this was only the few: the Hasmoneans themselves.
