Question: We know that we are not allowed to use Hanukkah candles. What is this potential that we are forming during Hanukkah?

Answer: This is a spiritual work symbolized by light. Therefore, these candles cannot be used. They are not for lighting but for reminding us of the symbol of this holiday.

Question: What is the difference between Hanukkah candles and Sabbath candles that we light on Saturday?

Answer: We can also use Sabbath candles for lighting, but Hanukkah candles are intended only for the holiday because it is a holiday of light. That is, the difference is in the reason why we use candles: either because it is for holiday or because we need light.
