HAPPY CHANUKAH!
| The miracle happened with a jug of oil. |

Chassidus
and the secrets of the Torah are compared to the liquid "oil". When Moshiach
will come, he will teach everyone the secrets of the Torah that are not
revealed to us now.

| The children hid their jewish books of learning, and played with dreidels instead. That's how they tricked the Greek soldiers. |
|
The children had Mesirus Nefesh (self-sacrifice) during the times of Chanukah.
So too, it is going to be the Jewish children who will bring Moshiach NOW! Through thier learning and doing so many Mitzvahs Hashem will reveal
Moshiach to us.

| Yehudis killed the general Helifurnus by convincing him to eat alot of cheese and wine. |

Yehudis helped save the Jews in the times
of Chanukah. She raised their morale and encouraged them to fight and
win over the Greeks. So too, in the merit of the righteous women of this
generation we will merit the coming of Moshiach.

|
| The Chashmonoim were originally only a small group of six men. |
|
We don't have to be as strong as a "big" army to bring
Moshiach. It takes just a little bit of effort from us. One "small"
Mitzvah
can tip the scale and be THE reason why Moshiach will come at that moment.
