Lighting the First Hanukkah Candle with the Esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland

The Chanukah candles shine with the light of the Tzaddik, the foundation of the world, as the holy Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a said, "On Chanukah, a fire breaks out, a flame breaks out that cannot be stopped; it is a flame that descends from the Heavens through the Chanukah candles. Samuel anointed Saul and David, and the main thing is David, who is Mashiach, as it is written, 'I have prepared a lamp for My Mashiach.' This is the light of Chanukah: when a person decides to offer self-sacrifice to Hashem, he receives a spirit of strength and courage, and through this spirit, he can wage mighty wars, defeat all the wicked and the Hellenists, and bring the Geulah."

And here, we merited to see the revelation of this light at the lighting of the first candle of Chanukah, 5779, with the Tzaddik, the foundation of the world, our teacher, the holy Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a.
