When Artscroll is available why should they learn lashon hakodash? Many alternative mussar and sometimes funny interpretations of expressions in Torah and gemora cannot be appreciated. The Kol Aryeh interprets the expression of אל תסתכל בקן קן אלא מה שיש בו, only value what is in the vessel and not its beauty. The Midrash Shmuel explains that in ונקה לא ינקה we find the letters קן קן and the letters Hashem (י-ה-ו-ה) so we should realize that Hashem is the one who revenges our enemies. So we say מנותר קנקנים נעשה נס לשושנים what is left over from removing kan kanim as above, Hashem through Whom the neis for eight days came about.
