Yaakov Astor Quotes

Rabbi Moshe Weinberger Of Mesivta Beis Shraga Related How His Father Used To Say That On Purim, The Handle Of The Gragger (noisemaker) We Spin Is Beneath The Gragger Itself, While On Chanukah The Handle Of The Dreidel (four-sided Top) We Spin Is On Top. Purim, He Expounded, Represents Human Initiative, An "awakening From Below," While Chanukah Represents Divine Intervention, An "awakening From Above." On Purim, We Stir Ourselves With Drink, Joy, A Hearty Meal And Other Activities. On Chanukah, We Light A Candle That We Are Not Allowed To Use For Any Purpose Other Than To Gaze At Its Flame. We Just Sit Back And Look. We Let Hashem Take Over. We Remind Ourselves That Hashem Is Running The Show.
