תיאור השיעור

As we approach the celebration of Chunukah we have the rare opportunity to ready ourselves for the gift of Light that can truly create miracles. This treasure store known as the Or haGanuz (Concealed Light) opens its doors to those of us who recognize the Light within each of us despite the mistakes we have made. Eitan urges us to catch ourselves before we fall deeper into darkness and the illusion of pain, to catch our consciousness and to train it to cling to the saving grace of the Or haGanuz which brings miracles into our lives.
