Listen "Taanis 25a- Bnei Binah: Why Chanukah is Eight Days—Recognizing the Miraculous in the Natural"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we explore the deeper reason why Chanukah is celebrated for eight days—not just seven. If the miracle of the oil began on night two, why add an extra day? We delve into the idea that the miracle wasn’t just in the oil lasting, but in what it revealed: that even the seemingly “natural” is truly miraculous. Just as vinegar can burn like oil when willed by Hashem, so too, every moment of light and life is a gift. We end with a powerful vort from Rav Shmuel Rozovsky on the phrase “Bnei binah yemei shemonah”—reminding us that true understanding means recognizing Hashem in all eight days.
