Do you feel a gap between who you are on the inside and who you are on the outside? Do you think you are not real because your thoughts are not always perfect? ​​This lesson on the dispute between Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel in lighting Hanukkah candles will answer your most nagging question: What is really important - the inside or the action?

Rabbi Yosef Yitzhak Jacobson reveals a deep secret: Beit Shammai looks at power and potential, Beit Hillel looks at what is actually realized. Halacha is like Beit Hillel - because today, what matters is not only what you feel, but what you actually do.

Even if your heart is broken, you can come to the Shabbat table and say things that strengthen you. Even if you are dealing with inner turmoil, you can choose to do good.
