Chanukah 2014: First Candle - Connecting to the Light Within

December 16, 2014

At the Kabbalah Centre, we teach that Chanukah is not a religious holiday meant for one group of people. Rather, it is a cosmic window in time when each and every soul can reconnect to its true essence and purpose in this world.

Each night of Chanukah, we light one more candle than the night before until we have lit all eight candles. If we add up the total number of candles throughout the eight days, we get 36, denoted in Hebrew by the two letters Lamed and Vav. In lighting the candles, we open our hearts to the understanding that the simple little light of the Chanukah candle is the same as the simple Light of the Creator that burns within each one of us.

Within that Light is our individual power as well as the unifying force that connects us all. Within that Light are our unique gifts and our love for one another. Within that Light is our connection to the Divine, our connection to each other, and our pathway to perfect freedom.

Tonight as we light the first candle of Chanukah, let’s meditate to ignite the part of our self that is one with the Creator and with all humanity.
