As we light our menorahs and gaze beyond the lights into the darkness outside ... remember - that only takes one little candle to dispel the darkness.
But in order to work it has to be real. A picture of a candle just won't do it. A fantastic sculpture with perfect likeness and coloring - also won't get the job done. It has to be real.
For our Torah learning to give 'light' and meaning to our whole day - it has to be real. Borne of a true desire to serve Hashem by connecting to his words. But if we can manage this little slice of 'lishma' - it can make a major difference. Like the difference between a walk in the dark and a walk with a lighted candle.
May we all be zocheh to illuminate our days (and nights) with the words of the Holy Torah and may our dedication to this lofty goal hasten the geulah sheleimah, amen.
Hatzlacha !
