In the war of the Hashmonaim (the Maccabees) we are impressed by defeat of the strong at the hands the weak, of the many at the hands of the few. But the big surprise was the pot of oil that was enough for one day and it lit eight days! This is out of the ordinary bounds of nature. In-depth reflection upon the G-dly reality from the vantage point of faith leads one to sense that in fact, all of life's processes are "Your miracles which everyday are with us" and therefore we must thank G-d and praise His great name.

Various Events FOR WHOM NOT TO VOTE
Rav Zvi Yehuda Kook stressed that Israeli politics is G-dly, so I have no problem answering this common question on a Torani blog. Also, Free-Will is a G-d-given right and obligation, to "destine one's fate" (R. Soloveichik, Kol Dodi Dofek, 67), so I obviously don't tell others how to vote. But once not a few (especially young) have already asked, a couple of personal words from experience and thoughts from chazal & Rav Kook which may be of help to others, mainly for whom NOT to vote.
