Listen in as we unravel the beautiful traditions of Chanukah and their significance in our bond with Hashem. Our conversation starts with the two main blessings of Chanukah, "Lahadlik Ner Shel Chanukah" and "She'asa Nisim La'avosaynu", highlighting their meaning and importance. As we light the menorah, we reflect on our commitment to God's commandments, and the recognition of the miracles He performs in our lives daily. We further discuss the miracle of fire, encouraging our listeners to contemplate their blessings and express their gratitude to Hashem.In the second part of our discussion, we examine the role of gratitude in our daily prayers, especially during Chanukah. Discover how expressing gratitude for the blessings and miracles in our lives can lead to a profound sense of happiness. We underline the significance of appreciating every aspect of our lives and the power of expressing gratitude in attracting more blessings. As we conclude, we leave our listeners with a blessing for happiness and gratitude, reminding everyone that the more we are grateful, the more blessings we will receive.This episode (#254) of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe is dedicated in Honor of Eric Blacher and our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!****To listen to other podcasts by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe: https://linktr.ee/ariwolJewish Inspiration Podcast: https://inspiration.transistor.fm/episodesParsha Review Podcast: https://parsha.transistor.fm/episodesLiving Jewishly Podcast: https://jewishly.transistor.fm/episodesThinking Talmudist Podcast: https://talmud.transistor.fm/episodesUnboxing Judaism Podcast: https://unboxing.transistor.fm/episodesRabbi Aryeh Wolbe Podcast Collection: https://collection.transistor.fm/episodesPlease send your questions, comments and even your stories to awolbe@torchweb.orgPlease visit www.torchweb.org to see a full listing of our Jewish outreach and educational resources available in the Greater Houston area and please consider sponsoring a podcast by making a donation to help support our global outreach at https://www.torchweb.org/donate. Thank you!For a full listing of podcasts available by TORCH at https://www.TORCHpodcasts.comRecorded in the TORCH Centre - Studio B to a live audience on December 5, 2023, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on December 8, 2023
