The Chanukah candles are a classic example of holiness. The number of candles
grow higher night by night, providing increasingly more light to dispell the darkness
and for goodness to excell over evil. The message of Chanukah is that we also
are empowered to use the intellectual and emotional powers of our soul at their
highest level, to be a candle dispelling darkness. Just as we light the candles
to shine outwards, to be seen by others, so also each of us in our lives should
also be candles shining outwards, good examples of positive action to everyone
in the world. [Chassidic sources]
