Tikkun HaYesod on the Sixth Candle of Hanukkah
Question
It is known that there is considered to be an exalted significance to performing Tikkun HaYesod at auspicious times. On the sixth candle, which is the Yesod of Hanukkah and corresponds to Yesod, is it permitted to conduct the tikkun, or because Hallel is recited on Hanukkah is it preferable to redeem it instead?
Answer
There is an exalted significance in not trolling and not being a nuisance on the sixth candle of Hanukkah. In the aspect of the vav of “gachon.”
There’s a lot in common between the vav of “gachon” and the sixth candle; after all, the sixth candle too is the midpoint of Hanukkah in terms of the candles.
