You know friends, many people think that on Chanukah we are commemorating the miracle that Hashem did for our forefathers thousands of years ago. The Chassidic masters teach that this simply isn’t the case.
Chanukah isn’t a commemoration of a historic miracle; it is the yearly re-experiencing of the very same spiritual revelation that produced the original Chanukah miracle (see Kedushas Levi, Kedushos L’Chanukah 1 and Meor Einyaim, Yisro, “isah”). ~ Yaakov Klein
