    Every Sunday night, Gina and I sit down with our children to learn the weekly Torah portion together. Our focus is exploring the big picture. We do this by sharing, debating, arguing as a family, and – most importantly – by listening to each other and making space for every question and opinion around the table.    It’s one of the highlights of our week and we thought it would be great to share.

    Chanukah | Why do we publicise the miracle of Chanukah?

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 9, 2020 13:48


    Superficially, the struggle between the Maccabees and the ancient Greek Empire looked like a political struggle for freedom, a military fight. But beneath the surface, it really was a struggle of values. The brave Maccabees confronted a world superpower in order to defend our eternal values. And when we light Chanukah candles, we fulfil that same mitzvah to publicise and proudly proclaim our faith and mission to ourselves, our families and our world.
