from Talking Tachlis Podcast · host Talking Tachlis Podcast
It's Hanukkah! Chanukah! Hannukkahh! That can only mean one thing - it's time for us to be told, on the pages of national newspapers, what the meaning of Chanukah is. So...what is it? Is it about the victory of nationalism over assimilation? Is it about finding light in the darkness? Something else entirely? In this week's episode, Uri and Rivky definitively come up with an answer. You're welcome.
