The common interpretation is that this means at nightfall, when the miracle will be better publicized, because on the one hand there are still many people in the street, and on the other hand, since it is already dark the candle light is clearly visible. On Friday night, however, it is clear we cannot light candles after sunset, because at sunset Shabbat comes in and it is forbidden to light fire. It is also forbidden to light fire just before sunset on Friday, because of the Mitzvah to add from the profane to the sacred and to welcome the Sabbath before sunset. In practice, most communities welcome the Sabbath twenty minutes before sunset, and that is the candle lighting time printed in the tables. On the Sabbath of Hanukkah one should light Hanukkah candles before lighting the Shabbat candles. However, since the main publicizing of the miracle is done at night, we have to make sure to have enough oil in the candles, so that they will stay lit for a half hour after sunset. Hanukkah candle lighting time on Friday night in Jerusalem In Jerusalem it is the custom to bring in Shabbat about forty minutes before sunset. On Hanukkah, however, many delay Shabbat candle-lighting to twenty minutes before sunset, in order light Hanukkah candles closer to sunset (Eretz Israel Luach). Some people do not change the usual candle Lighting time, and light Hanukkah candles before the Shabbat candles, however they must make sure to have enough oil in the candles so that they will remain lit until a half hour after sunset (Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim D.,62).

The Three Musketeers at the Kotel The Three are Rabbi Yehuda Glick, famous temple mount activist, and former Israel Mk, and then Robert Weinger, the world's greatest shofar blower and seller of Shofars, and myself after we had gone to the 12 gates of the Temple Mount in 2020 to blow the shofar to ask G-d to heal the world from the Pandemic. It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember. The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in.

It turns out, most wells are just looking for something deep and meaningful! Why did the well get a job at the bank? Because it had plenty of liquid assets! My friend told me he could talk to wells… Turns out, he was just well-versed in plumbing!'" A well wrote a book about its life. Critics are calling it an autobiography, but I just think it's well-written. You know, money talks, but I tried talking to a wishing well the other day… all I got was silence. Must've been well-off. Where do sick wells go? To the well-being center! You can tell it's a really deep well because its voice echoes…well, well, well. I thought I could make a living digging wells…turns out it was just a pipe dream. Q: Why did the well get a job at the spa? A: It was known for its mineral water and deep tissue massages. Q: What did the well say to the rain? A: "Hey, thanks for dropping in!" Q: Why was the well so sad? A: It had a deep and abiding sense of emptiness. Q: What's a well's favorite type of music? A: Anything but heavy metal! Q: What did the motivational speaker say to the well? A: "You've got so much potential. Don't just sit there…spring into action!" Why did the well win an award? For its outstanding well-fare work in the community!

Joseph tells Pharaoh that the dreams foretell seven years of plenty to be followed by seven years of famine. Joseph advises Pharaoh to immediately begin storing food during the coming seven years of plenty for use during the seven years of famine. As a result of Pharaoh's pleasure with Joseph's interpretation and advice, Joseph is appointed Viceroy with total responsibility for the collection and storage of the food. Joseph stores food in Egypt for the upcoming famine: "And Joseph gathered grain like the sand of the sea, in great abundance, until one] stopped counting, because there was no number" (Genesis 41;49). The phrase which emphasizes the abundance and blessing is the termination of the counting. During the years of their sojourn in Egypt, the Children of Israel grew from an extended family of 70 to a nation of "abundance and blessing" numbering 600,000, this despite the years of slavery which they were forced to endure. The letters "lamed" in the words "chadal lispor"(he stopped counting), symbolizing the abundance and blessing, are written in an unusual manner. The numerical value of the letter "lamed" is 30. The two "lameds" therefore equal 60, thereby symbolizing the "shesheem ribo" (60 X 10,000), the number of Jews who left Egypt.
