Questions on the Daf:

1.  Rav Elon writes that there are two aspects to the Chanuka miracles -
     A spiritual aspect and a physical aspect.

     What is the physical aspect?

2.  Still looking at Rav Elon’s introduction, who said,

     "Victory does not depend on numbers" and what is meant by this?

3.  What reward does a person receive for honouring his parents?

4.  Explain the reason given in the Talmud for why
     ten years were taken off Yosef’s lifespan.

5.  Why was the length of this punishment ten years?

6.  Who became Yosef’s father-in-law?

7.  Which of the brothers had promised to take care of Binyamin?

8.  Read the story, "Yehuda and the Bank Loan."

     What do you think is the main lesson of the story?

9.  If the Shamash flame went out, in what circumstances would it
     not be permissible to relight it with one of the other candles?
     Where (that’s a clue) would it be allowed?

10.  The three flames on either side of the Menorah
       in the Bet HaMikdash leaned towards the middle one.

       What has that got to do with Chanuka?
