Beha'alotcha Light the Candles
The parent or the teacher is responsible for the child or the student, just as the Priest was responsible for the wicks until they were lit.
Beha'alotcha Catching Fire
the Priest who lit the candelabra was to keep the fire close to the wick, until the wick itself caught fire and rose by itself. This is a lesson not only regarding the lighting of the great candelabra in the Temple but is also a metaphor for many life situations.
Beha'alotcha Focus at the center
The commandment that the six outside lamps should all face into the center lamp teach us where to focus our attention.
Beha'alotcha The High Priest and the Menora
