💡 Think:
What was the fight between the Greeks and the Jews on Chanukah?
It was the fight between the body and soul: Hellenism against Judaism; the rational and physical against the transcendent and spiritual. Is the perfection of dross physicality an end to itself? Or merely a step in manifesting the Divine?
The Greeks tried to defile the oil the Holy Temple, to create spiritual destruction . . . but try as they might, a single pure, untouched jar of oil remained. And with it came transcendent light - light that shined for eight days, beyond the measure of the natural cycle of the week.
In each and every one of us there is a jar of oil - pure, uncontaminated by all the vicissitudes of life. The purest expression of the divine, so whole with its Source that no forces in the world can defile it. Find that jar, kindle it, and you to shall transcend.
