Lesson

Shabbat 23a and Shabbat 23b, finishing up Hanukkah for now, women’s equal obligation in Hanukkah candles because they were part of the miracle, and the priorities between Shabbat candles–very important for shalom bayit, a tranquil home atmosphere–Hanukkah candles, or kiddush wine.  The source verse for making berakhot on Rabbinic obligations, the obligation to avoid others’ suspicions, and some ideas about how our love of mitzvot has benefits beyond the specific mitzvah itself.
