Writer/director/actor Jonah Feingold joins the bagels this week to talk about his new indie film "31 Candles," which blends a Hallmark Christmas movie with Jewish culture. The movie follows a 30-something New Yorker who becomes a bar mitzvah...only to win over his former camp crush, who is now a b'nai mitzvah tutor. The three also remember the legendary Rob Reiner and talk about his influence on Feingold's movies.  "31 Candles" heads to an AMC near you on January 9th.

In this last episode before our two month break (save for an occasional special, check your feed!) Linda Gradstein and Noah Efron talk about (1) What to make about Bondi Beach and the many, many violent things around the world that maybe led up to it, and (2) What does Hanukkah mean in 2025? For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: What do we look for in a Rabbi? All that and a Mufti and a Chief Rabbi studying the New Testament in Gaza City. Plus some really good music that sounds more or less how we feel these days.

We're waxing on about the pros and cons of candles, we feel the need for speed when we ask if Tom Cruise really is the Top Gun.Featuring: Jon Steinberg, Jan Caruana, Adam Cawley, and David Pryde.

Hanukah Candles - Where to Begin by Rabbi Avi Harari

Rev. Nathan Detering led our service on Sunday, December 14, 2025, with a sermon titled, “Light the Candles Anyway: A Sermon on Hope Instead of Optimism.”

Today on Table Talk with BBYOInsider, we're celebrating Hanukkah—the Festival of Lights—and exploring what it means to bring light into the world. We'll reflect on the story of Hanukkah, talk about strength, resilience, and Jewish identity, and share how small moments and everyday “miracles” can make a big impact. 

Shabbos 23b discusses the reward for certain mitzvos and says the mitzvos of lighting candles (Shabbos and Chanukah) leads to children who are talmidei chachamim. We analyze this connection.

Bienvenue dans cet épisode très spécial où nous plongeons dans l'univers sombre et fascinant de 10 Candles, un jeu de rôle qui brille autant par son concept que par ses bougies... avant de les éteindre, bien sûr.Alors, pourquoi 10 Candles mérite votre attention ? Parce que c'est un jeu sans préparation, parfait pour les MJ qui aiment improviser et pour les joueurs qui aiment se faire surprendre. Le manuel, d'une centaine de pages, est concis, clair, et léger… un peu comme un livret d'instructions IKEA mais sans les meubles.La dynamique commence dès la création des personnages, un moment aussi collaboratif que captivant. Mais soyons clairs : 10 Candles, c'est un one-shot. Pas de campagne, pas de “on se revoit la semaine prochaine” – non, ici, on joue la fin. La fin de la vie de vos personnages. La fin de leur univers. La fin… du monde ? Bref, c'est du narratif intense et pas vraiment le genre de soirée où vous riez à gorge déployée en lançant des d20.Petit avertissement : ce jeu n'est pas pour tout le monde. C'est une expérience introspective, émotionnelle, et parfois déstabilisante. Pour cette raison, on le recommande aux joueurs et MJ expérimentés, prêts à explorer une autre facette du jeu de rôle. Et rassurez-vous, ça ne vous prendra pas la nuit : une partie dure environ trois heures – parfait pour une soirée où vous voulez vivre une histoire qui marquera vos esprits.Sur ce, je vous laisse avec l'épisode. Écoutez, appréciez, et on se retrouve plus tard pour en discuter. Qui sait ? Peut-être que vous aussi, vous serez tentés de vivre cette aventure lumineuse… avant que tout ne s'éteigne.

Why do we light Chanukah candles in shul—if no one fulfills their obligation with that lighting?A sincere question asked between Mincha and Maariv (from a Yid wearing a Chanukah kippah—so of course it had to be taken seriously

Lighting Hanukah Candles on Wedding Night by Rabbi Avi Harari

A single van's worth of fighters against a sprawling empire isn't the setup for a myth—it's the spine of a moral challenge. We take a hard look at the Maccabean revolt and strip it of sentimental glow: twelve or so members of a rabbinic family stood against a Greek world packed with soldiers, arms, elephants, and millions of citizens. The numbers weren't close, and that's the point. The heart of Hanukkah is not cute; it's costly. It asks what happens when conviction refuses to make peace with pressure.We walk through the scale of the mismatch and then lean into how tradition remembers the turning point. Midrashic portraits—eagle-fast, deer-light, lion-strong—read like battlefield poetry. Whether you name it providence or metaphor, the message lands: determination aligned with a sacred purpose can push beyond what spreadsheets predict. That alignment is captured in the idea of Moser Nefesh, the willingness to give of oneself for what is right. It's less about headline heroism and more about steady fidelity when numbers, peers, and fear all argue for surrender.From there, we bring the story home. Most of us won't face elephants, but we do face corners: workplaces that pressure us to mute our values, communities that normalize what our conscience can't. We talk about what it means to stand your ground without theatrics, how small acts of courage create new options, and why “having Hashem on your side” is about integrity as much as outcomes. Candles become more than décor—they're a discipline of memory, sparks that ask what we will stake for what we claim to love.If you're ready for a Hanukkah story that honors the risk and the grit—and helps you find your footing when the odds look unforgiving—press play, share this with someone who needs courage tonight, and leave a review to tell us where you're choosing to stand.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!---------------- SUBSCRIBE to The Weekly Parsha for an insightful weekly talk on the week's Parsha.

Candles of joy, also lit in mourning. Australia is mourning 15 people shot at Bondi Beach on Sunday at a Hanukkah celebration. The mass shooting has provoked public conversation about extremism, anti-semitism, and stricter gun control.And: His work spanned generations, and genres. The deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner are drawing shocked reactions from around the world. The 78-year-old film director and his wife Michele were discovered dead in their Los Angeles home late Sunday. Their son has been arrested – accused of killing them.Also: The latest inflation numbers show price growth was “on target”. But that's not the reality many people see at the grocery store. What items are costing more? And what the experts say about whether those costs will be coming down any time soon.Plus: Alleged terror plot foiled in Los Angeles, three children die of flu complications in Ontario, flooding in B.C., and more.

In the wake of Sunday's terrorist attack on Australia's Jewish community, Canadian Jews are feeling angry, scared, mournful and defiant, with some seriously considering moving to Israel. As of Sunday night EST, the death toll in New South Whales had risen to 15 victims, including the host of the Bondi Beach candle-lighting event, Chabad Rabbi Eli Schlanger, who has deep ties to Toronto and Ottawa. Meanwhile, officials believe up to 60 other festival-goers were wounded, including the rabbi's wife, a mother of five. One of the two shooters was also killed. In Canada, rabbis and Jewish leaders urged their community to push back against terror, show extra pride and make an effort to attend public candle-lighting ceremonies this Hanukkah. But some fear Canada is equally ripe for an attack like Australia's, due to the failure of public officials to stop hate speech and protests on our streets featuring chants like “Globalize the Intifada”. On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast with Ellin Bessner, you'll hear what Jewish Canada sounded like while mourning Jews on the other side of the planet. We're joined by Richard Marceau, a senior official with the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, who just returned from an antisemitism conference in Australia six days prior to the attack; award-winning Canadian author Sidura Ludwig, who lined up early to buy special sufganiyot at a Thornhill bakery; Sara Lefton of UJA Federation of Greater Toronto; Rabbi Levi Gansburg of Chabad on Bayview, who knew the murdered rabbi; and political leaders, including Prime Minister Mark Carney, Toronto mayor Olivia Chow and cabinet minister Evan Solomon.

Text Me Here!!!Holy cow!!! It's already been 10 days?!?Well you might just maybe still have some last minute Christmas Shopping to do, and have I got the gift for you....a bar of soap. But not just any bar of soap, a handmade, wonderfully curated, great for either your crunchiest or silkiest friend alike!Today on the pod, we talk to Elizabeth, who is the owner of BareSpring Bubbles. I met her last year at the Women's Wellness Summit, and it wasn't until after trying some of her soap, that I had to get in touch with her to get more. By doing so I not only got to understand more about her incredible line of products, but I also got to meet her and y'all...she's incredible! She is truly open to anyone and everyone about her business, no gatekeeping here. She wants to talk to anyone that wants to listen, and you can feel that in all that she says and does.You definitely need to go check out her website and try one of her products, I'm still dying at how amazing this candle that she brought smells!******Links:Website: https://barespringbubbles.com/Elizabeth's Email: elizabeth@barespringbubbles.com E-mail: munchandminglepodcast@gmail.com Insta: @munchandminglepodcast
