Would the Maccabees hate us?
from TRTM: They're Rabbis & They're Married
In this episode, the Rabbis Rubenstein, debate the meaning of the holiday of Chanukah. They work together to isolate the different meanings of the holiday and talk about the holiday means to them. They discuss the battles of the Maccabees against the Syrian Greeks and Hellenized Jews and if they would have found Modern Jews who were also proud Americans to be distasteful. Is there room for the zealotry of the Maccabees for the modern American Jew? If so, what role should the spiritual meaning of Chanukah play in our lives today? We hope you enjoy their meaningful discussion! Happy Chanukah!!
