Hiding the Light, Shining the Light, Spreading the Light

... The light that the Holy One, Blessed be G-d, created on the first day was not that of the sun but a different kind of light, through which Adam could see from one end of the world to the other. But when the Holy One, Blessed be G-d, saw that this divine light would fall into the hands of people who would misuse it for evil, G-d hid it away for the righteous people (Tzaddikim) in the future who could reveal the light through their luminous nature and righteous actions.

(11) Light is sown for the Tzaddikim

(21) And now we desire to celebrate the day of the dedication of the altar on the 25th of the month of Kislev. We did not refrain from notifying you to celebrate it with us.

(22) You will celebrate it like the days of the festival of Sukkot, and like the day on which Nehemiah found the holy fire upon his return to build the Temple and the altar. He offered on it burnt offerings and sacrifices to God.

(23) For when our forefathers were exiled to Persia, the holy priests secretly took the fire from upon the altar, and they hid it in a deep and dry pit to preserve it. No man knew its location.

(24) It was at the end of many days, when the Lord pitched his kindness upon us, and the king sent Nehemiah to Jerusalem.

(25) He took descendants of the priests who hid the fire, and he sent them to search for it.

(26) But when it was told to us that they didn't find the fire, rather frozen water beneath it, Nehemiah commanded [them] to draw the water and to bring it.

(27) It was when they were offering the sacrifice of the Lord, he commanded them to throw the water on the wood and on the sacrifice that was on the altar. They did so.

(28) After they finished [pouring the water], the sun came out over the land, and the clouds scattered. Behold a fire of God engulfed the sacrifice! The entire crowd around was awe struck.

(29) The priests and the people fell and they prostrated, until the sacrifice was consumed.

...the Sages taught: When Adam the first man saw that the day was progressively diminishing, as the days become shorter from the autumnal equinox until the winter solstice, he did not yet know that this is a normal phenomenon, and therefore he said: Woe is me; perhaps because I sinned the world is becoming dark around me and will ultimately return to the primordial state of chaos and disorder. And this is the death that was sentenced upon me from Heaven, as it is written: “And to dust shall you return” (Genesis 3:19). He arose and spent eight days in fasting and in prayer. Once he saw that the season of Tevet, i.e., the winter solstice, had arrived, and saw that the day was progressively lengthening after the solstice, he said: Clearly, the days become shorter and then longer, and this is the order of the world. He went and observed a festival for eight days. Upon the next year, he observed both these eight days on which he had fasted on the previous year, and these eight days of his celebration, as days of festivities. He, Adam, established these festivals for the sake of Heaven

Do not rejoice over me, O my enemy! Though I have fallen, I rise again; Though I sit in darkness, Adonai is my light.

The candle of Adonai is the human soul, searching all of his innermost parts.
