(See also John 7:37). The night before there was a great party like none other! The four menorahs were lit and Rabbis and students alike would put on a “light show” and “torch dances” while the Levites sang and played music; dancing before God like David danced (Sukkah 5:1)! This is a discussion in front of these menorahs the following morning, still on the Festival day. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”
