WE WON ONE BECAUSE WE ATE EIGHT

Image result for eight and judaism


One won because we ate eight! What is so important about the number eight? We eat and then we ATE. We ate on Jewish holidays like Passover of eight days, Sukkot of seven plus ONE day [shemini atzeret] which means The Eighth Day, and of course on Hanukkah when we burn EIGHT candles plus ONE [the shamash]. Also, in a worship minyan we can daven [pray] with nine Jews plus ONE which isThe Torah Scroll, the Torah taking on the needed plus ONE that becomes the TEN of Jews necessary to sing "The Kaddish" [Prayer for the Deceased]. A young newborn Jewish boy has his Brit Milah, which means he is circumcised and this is on the eighth day of his life.

What about this eating and why eight? We can eat one matzo per day on Passover and this makes eight matzos. Eight days of unleavened bread. We celebrate the fact that we are no longer slaves in Egypt. Hanukkah's eight days are spent celebrating the Maccabees winning the fight against the Greeks, we won an eternal candle using a wick and olive oil. So we won One? Who is One?

One Gd is Who is One, and we won many battles, ONE and then another ONE, like the Purim Battle against Haman, like the fight of David against Goliath, One pebble aimed into the forehead of Goliath and he dropped dead, One times One equals One in multiplication. We won One, One Gd, indivisible is our One and only Gd.

No confusion, One means One not two or three...One Promised Land, One Moses The Prophet, One Gd more Almighty as One but with Fifty Names. 

To be in love with this One singular Gd, to not commit "adultery" not to love a different god.
