(Taken From A Friend)
To all my dear friends. Chanukah is here and with it tremendous possibilities.
The Heiligeh Kedushas Levi says that each night of chanuka is mesugal for different things to daven for.
1 st night -not to be lonely or depressed.
2nd night- shidduchim, shalom bayis
3rd night- good children,happy children, healthy
(Chasam Sofer says when u cry in front of the candles u can be sure your tefilos are answered)
4th night- 4 imahos
To be a normal woman (balancing kedushash and practical living) ,a builder in your 4 walls, and a life of true essence
5th night – chamisha chumshei torah.
Daven that you or your husband should be a talmid chacham children.
By the 5th night more of the menorah is lit up can daven for more light in your life, for a revelation
6th night – simcha
You can have everything and still be sad, so it’s an opportunity to daven for simcha.
7th night -happy shabbos , feeling shabbos , living shabbos
Zmiros ,divrei torah by your seuda. Shabbos is source of all bracha.
8th nignt-mesugal for barren women
8 is above nature, powerful day to daven.
( my Rebbe used to say Gibor Kari , is because the lion doesn’t fear that which is stronger than it, to defer the yetzer harah often takes strength that if being our natural abilities but fight on we must)
Kedushas Levi says if you are planning to start something new ,if you start on chanuka it will be blessed.
Wishing you joy and strength moving forward in your lives.A freilichen chanuka.
