Victory (Chanukah, Capturing the Light- 2)
from The Chavrusa Hosted by Moshe Schonbrun
A non-Jew writes a NY Times article about discarding Chanukah. I attempt to uncover the core issue that this reveals. Plus it brings to light a new understanding on the "horn of the ox". What is the Jewish approach to war? What would be the Torah's definition of 'victory'? A delve into Materialism vs. Minimalism, and the behavior of Yaakov in this regard with his return for some mini-containers. Finally, a mystical portending of the Chankuah clashed laid out in the struggle of the brothers Yafes and Shem, and in the colossal war between Avraham and Kordala'omer.
