Editor's Note:
So Chanukah is winding to a close. If you are like me, you have had more than your fill of latkes, jelly doughnuts and chocolate coins. With a twinge of sadness, we will clean our menorahs and store them away until next year.
So what is left? After the last flame burns down, the last Tum is ingested and the last song is sung, is there something that remains for the rest of the year?
After the Maccabees' victory over the Syrian-Greeks, they collected Torah books from all over Judea and initiated study groups in order to jumpstart Torah learning, which the Greek oppressors had tried to squelch. This Shabbat is the 5th of Tevet, which is celebrated in Chabad communities as a day to expand our Torah-related libraries and broaden the horizons of Torah scholarship.
This year, follow the example of the Maccabees. Buy some Torah books and read them. You stand only to gain.
Menachem Posner,
