Walking Away with Full Pockets

We have been fighting the tumah of the umos ha’olam, one by one, and, during Chanukah we have strengthened this avoda still further. Now, as we walk away from this special Yom Tov we have “full pockets”. Let us remember that even Pharaoh melech Mitzrayim realized that a direct message from shamayim is meaningless if one does not act upon it. Let us act on this very special stage we have reached, let us build on this special time, go me’chayil el chayil, may these zechusim protect all of Klal Yisreal, and may we only share easier times.
