What Kind of Nes Are We Asking For?
Chanukah
Harav Hagaon Elimelech Reznik shlita
On Chanukah, we say Al Hanissim in davening and Bircas Hamazon, and the halachah, as the Mishnah Berurah states, is that if someone forgets Al Hanissim in Bircas Hamazon, when he reaches the Harachamans, he adds: ืืจืืื ืืื ืืขืฉื ืื ื ื ืืกืื ืื ืคืืืืช ืืื ืฉืขืฉื ืืืืืชืื ื ืืืืื ืืื ืืืื ืืื. The poskim wonder how we are allowed to make this request, considering that we are not allowed to daven for a miracle; in fact, the Gemara states that davening for a nes is considered a ืชืคืืืช ืฉืื. How, then, can we ask, on Chanukah, that Hashem perform miracles for us?
The Acharonim discuss this question and offer various answers, but perhaps we can suggest an answer based on the Ben Yehoyadaโs explanation of the following Gemara (Taanis 25):
ืื ืื ืฉืืฉื ืืืืื ืืืจืชืื ืืืืืช ืขืฆืืื, ืืืจ ืื: ืืชื ืืืื ืขืฆืืืช? ืืืจื ืืื: ืืื ืฉื ืืืืฅ ื ืชืืืฃ ืื ืืืื ืฉื ืฉืื, ืืืืืงืชื ืืื ื ืืืจ ืืฉืืช. ืืืจ ืื: ืืชื, ืืื ืืืคืช ืื? ืื ืฉืืืจ ืืฉืื ืืืืืืง ืืื ืืืืจ ืืืืืฅ ืืืืืืง. ืชื ื: ืืื ืืืืง ืืืืื ืื ืืืื ืืืื, ืขื ืฉืืืืื ืืื ื ืืืจ ืืืืืื.
R’ Chanina ben Dosa saw that his daughter was sad, and he asked her, โMy daughter, why are you sad?โ She responded, โI accidentally used vinegar instead of oil to light Shabbos candles.โ He said to her, โWhat do you care? The One who told the oil to light will tell the vinegar to light.โ And indeed, it remained lit the entire Shabbos, and they were able to take a flame for Havdalah from it.
The Ben Yehoyada asks two questions on this Gemara. One, the Gemara elsewhere teaches that itโs not a good thing if Hakadosh Baruch Hu does a nes for a person, as it takes away from the personโs zechuyos โ how, then, could R’ Chanina comfort his daughter by telling her that Hashem would perform a miracle for them? What was there to be happy about? Two, thereโs a rule that a person may not derive benefit from miracles โ ืืื ื ืื ืื ืืืขืฉื ื ืืกืื, so how could vinegar be used for hadlakas neiros? Isnโt that benefiting from a miracle?
He answers by pointing out another difficulty with this Gemara. R’ Chaninaโs daughter told him that she had accidentally taken vinegar and lit it โ ืืืืืงืชื ืืื ื ืืืจ ืืฉืืช. Now, if you were to try lighting a wick filled with vinegar, the wick might burn for a second, but no fire will start. So how can the Gemara use the term ืืืืืงืชื? And how could R’ Chanina comfort her by saying that the vinegar will stay lit, if there was no fire that could burn? It must be, says the Ben Yehoyada, that when R’ Chaninaโs daughter lit the vinegar she had a beautiful ner Shabbos that remained lit. Her distress was not over the fact that the vinegar had not ignited, but rather over her realization that Hakadosh Baruch Hu had performed a nes for her, which is problematic.
What she was telling her father then was, โI mistakenly took vinegar, and look, Hakadosh Baruch Hu made a nes and it stayed lit โ is that going to cause me to lose zechuyos?โ
R’ Chaninaโs response was, โMy dear daughter, in our family thereโs no difference between oil and vinegar. You know when Hakadosh Baruch Hu deducts from a personโs zechuyos? When the person views the miracle as outside the realm of nature. If a person views the world as operating according to nature, and when something extraordinary happens he considers it a big nes, then the nes causes him to lose zechuyos. But in our house, where we are accustomed to miracles, vinegar burning does not constitute a nes.โ
With this explanation, the Ben Yehoyada addresses both the above questions. Since vinegar burning was not considered a nes in his family, his daughter would not lose her zechuyos, and there was no problem of deriving benefit from a nes.
R’ Chanina was teaching his daughter how to view nissim: In our house, this is not a nes, because for us, this is all normal. What a beautiful pshat in the Gemara.
Returning to the nes Chanukah, one of the common answers to the Beis Yosefโs question โ why is Chanukah eight days, if the nes lasted seven โ is that the extra day celebrates the fact that the oil burned even one day. In other words, thereโs no difference between nes and teva, as the Ramban teaches at the end of Parashas Bo that open miracles are meant to bring us to believe in Hashemโs hidden miracles as well. When Hashem performs a nes, it is meant to bring us to believe that everything that happens is in the category of: ย ืขื ื ืืกืื ืฉืืื ืืื ืขืื ืโ every single thing we receive from the Borei Olam is all a nes. And if you reach the madreigah weโre supposed to reach on Chanukah, then the nes doesnโt have a din of a nes.
If so, we can understand why specifically on Chanukah we can daven for a nes: ืืจืืื ืืื ืืขืฉื ืื ื ื ืืกืื.
Equal Hispaalus
To add to this point, I saw a vort from both the Chazon Ish and the Ropshitzer, regarding the words of the Zohar Hakadosh on Parashas Vayeitzei. Itโs hardly bโderech hateva that the Chazon Ish and the Ropshitzer should say the same vort, but they both explain the concept of ayin hara the same way.
Usually, we think of ayin hara as a phenomenon that occurs when someone looks with jealousy and bad middos at something belonging to another person. But they explain that ayin hara happens when someone looks at something with hispaalus: If you own something that people look at and say, โwow,โ that causes ayin hara. The Chazon Ish says this in Bava Basra, regarding the Gemaraโs teaching: ืืกืืจ ืื ืืืื ืฉืืขืืื ืขื ืฉืื ืืืืจื ืืฉืขื ืฉืขืืืืช ืืงืืืชืื; he explains that the reason for this prohibition is in order to prevent people from being nispaโel, which could cause the object of their hispaalus to be damaged.
How does that work?
If a person has reached a level of bitachon in which he believes that everything is from Hashem โ you woke up this morning because Hashem wanted you to wake up, that person has money because Hashem gave it to him โ then why should he be nispaโel from anything? Hashem can do anything โ ืึฒืึดืคึผึธืึตื ืึตื’ ืึผึธืึธืจ? Why are we nispaโel over certain things and not over others? So displaying hispaalus is, in a sense, disconnecting the object of that hispaalus from bringing about kevod shamayim, because itโs as if youโre saying that this item or phenomenon by rights should not exist. Therefore, says the Ropshitzer, if youโre ever nispaโel from something, you should immediately connect it to the Borei Olam, by saying, โWow, look what the Eibishter did! Look what the Eibishter gave him!โ
Does that mean that we shouldnโt be nispaโel from anything? Well, Iโll tell you one thing โ we shouldnโt own things that cause hispaalus. You bought a brand-new car? Let it get scratched and banged up a little; youโll enjoy your new car without knocking peopleโs eyes out. But the ideas isnโt that you shouldnโt have hispaalus โ rather, you should be equally nispaโel from everything, ืขื ื ืืกืื ืฉืืื ืืื: waking up in the morning, saying ืคืืงื ืขืืจืื and ืืชืืจ ืืกืืจืื in Birchos Hashachar โ itโs all the same chessed from Hakadosh Baruch Hu, none of which should be taken for granted. When a person strengthens his hakaras hatov for the small things โ what the Ramban calls the hidden nissim โ then thereโs no such thing as a nes, because ืื ืฉืืืจ ืืฉืื ืืืืืืง ืืื ืืืืจ ืืืืืฅ ืืืืืืง.
A freilichen Chanukah!
