Chanukah- Light up your Soul!

(21) Who knows if a man’s lifebreath does rise upward and if a beast’s breath does sink down into the earth?

What is the origin of the feast of Chanukah? Our Rabbis taught: "On the twenty-fifth day of Kislev, the eight days of Chanukah begin. During this period no funderal address is to be made, nor are fasts to be held. When the heathens (Greeks) entered the Temple they defiled all the holy oil they found in it; but when the Hashmonaim (Maccabeans) prevailed and conquered the heathens, they sought and found one remaining jar of oil, stamped with the seal of the High Priest [proving that it had not been defiled]. Though the oil contained in the jar would have sufficed for one day only, a miracle occurred, and it lasted for eight days [during which time more oil was prepared]. On the anniversary of this occasion a feast was instituted with the reciting of Hallel and other praises."
