Sacred Time Ep 6: Hanukkah

from Meir Soloveichik · host Rabbi Meir Soloveichik

Families on Hanukkah gather together and celebrate around dreidels, chocolate coins, and presents. Yet the holiday's most profound meaning is in its core symbol and ritual: the lighting of the menorah. Rabbi Soloveichik takes us through Hanukkah's two pivotal historical stages, the age of the Temple and the age of Diaspora, teaching us about the triumph of monotheism and Judaism, and the lessons Hanukkah's miracles hold for anyone who cares about Jewish survival.

This milestone is truly remarkable in the annals of world projects. It is a tribute to Rav Shapiro that his initiative has continued to grow almost a century after it began. Being involved with Daf Hayomi for over forty years myself, here are some of my observations regarding this important and life-changing project:1. Anyone can partake, scholar or otherwise.
