7. Chanukah

Chanukah... oh, Chanukah. What a joyful bundle of contradictions. The minor holiday with a major cultural profile. The festival of lights in the darkest of times. The insurgent anti-assimilationist celebration that turned into an imitation of a certain keystone holiday of the Xtian empire. You may think you know this holiday, but let's take a closer look. Our four questions for Chanukah: 1. Who is the enemy and how do we fight them/it? 2. What ruins is it time for us to rededicate? 3. Which miracle? / Where do we want to look for our miracles? 4. What darkness are we hoping to light? / What do we do with darkness, what do we do with light? Email us at [email protected]! Music by Sam Durkes & Ezra Furman!
