Einstein and Li'havdil Reb Simcha Zissel On Chanuka

“There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.”

Albert Einstein

One of the answers to the famous question - The miracle was only seven days because they had enough oil for the first day, so why do we celebrate 8? The first day was also a miracle. THAT OIL BURNS IS A MIRACLE. That you can see is a miracle. That your digestive system knows exactly what to do with the food you eat is a miracle. That a drop of "yich" is transformed into the most comlex organism on the planet is a miracle. That your body has natural antibodies to fight illness is a miracle. All of the laws of "nature" [hateva gematria elokim] are miracles.

Yes sweetest friends the first day was also a miracle!:)

[Rav Simcha Zissel Mi'kelm]
