Hasidut untuk Ulangan 16:16

And this is the aspect of what the poor set in motion on Chanukah to accept Chanukah Money, the aspect of the illumination of the Face from above, that Hashem Yisbarach shimes His face to us in the midst of our houses, as explained above. Because one cannot receive the light of the Face of the living King except through charity, as it is written (Psalms 17:15) "Then I, justified, will behold Your face". Therefore on the Festivals, where one must ascend by foot to the Beis HaMikdash to receive the Light of the Face, one must bring, according to his means, an offering of appearance, as it is written (Deuteronomy 16:16) "They shall not appear before the Hashem empty-handed". However, during the Festivals where one must ascend to Hashem's house, one must bring a sacrifice, which is the contribution of his heart, the aspect of charity, one must take pains to bring it up to the house of Hashem. But on Chanukah, the poor come to your house, as they are מָאנִין תְּבִירִין דילי (Zohar Yitro Page 86), and in them is the Shechinah of the Light of the Face, as it is written (Isaiah 57:15) "I dwell on high, in holiness". Therefore, when Hashem Yisbarach loves someone, and wants to shine His face on him, he sends him a poor person to credit him, as it is written in the Holy Zohar (Yitro Page 86) מָאן דְּקֻדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא רָחִים לי' שדר לֵיהּ דּוֹרוֹנָא מִסְכְּנָא. Therefore on Chanukah, when Hashem Yisbarach is in the aspect of shining His face into our houses, then in His mercy He sends us poor people to our house, in order that we merit through them, in order to receive upon yourself the Light of the Face which then illuminates into our houses, as explained above.
