What’s in a word?
חנה to settle oneself, to rest
Assiya: Body, making, settling the candles in the Hanukiah
חֲנֻכָּה dedication, consecration
Yetzira: Heart, forming. Recite the blessings, light the candles.
חנך to learn, to make experienced
Briyah: Mind, knowing. What do you see, recall, know, experience in the flickering of the flames?
חֵן grace
Atzilut: Emanation, being. What is the revelation from your consecration of light and love?
Hag sameach!
