Summary
Many think that wars and plans to annihilate the Jewish people in one war or one wave of the hand is a pathway to ultimately ridding the world of Jews. History tells us that this approach does not tend to work. We are among the most resilient of peoples and ideals. But ironically, it is our own actions that may indeed destroy us. In this season of Chanukah, we explore three ideas relating to the holiday. Assimilation is the first of a 3-part series. Our own actions may one day be our own undoing - but the story of Chanukah gives us hope.
