From Egypt To Sinai: Shavuos Series Episode 15. The Greek Virus

Join Charlie Harary for a powerful series on Shavuos, where he explains how this holiday is more than just a commemoration – it’s a chance to receive the Torah anew each year. Discover how to tap into the spiritual energy of this time and prepare for a deeper, more meaningful connection to Torah. Learn how to prepare for this profound renewal and make the most of this year's Matan Torah. Episode 15: As the Jewish people rebuild the Beis Hamikdash in Israel, they encounter a new challenge with the rise of Hellenistic influence brought by Alexander the Great. This cultural clash introduces Greek philosophy, art, and secularism, gradually eroding the spiritual unity of the Jewish nation. The internal struggle between traditional Torah values and the seductive appeal of Greek culture sets the stage for the eventual Maccabean revolt, leading to the miraculous events of Chanukah.
