Question: Why did the Creator reveal the miracle of Hanukkah, that the oil sufficient for only one day of candle burning lasted for eight days?

Answer: The oil symbolizes the light of Bina, which is the quality of bestowal. Therefore, on Hanukkah, we celebrate receiving spiritual correction.

When our egoistic desire turns into an altruistic desire to bestow for the sake of bestowal to others, this is Hanukkah.

The next stage is already receiving for the sake of others, symbolized by Purim, which represents the final correction (Gmar Tikkun).

Therefore, in Hanukkah, we ask for connection between us, i.e., to receive bestowing Kelim, and in Purim, we already connect with the Creator.
