ChabadLife.TV Street Farbrengen
Farbrengen is Art. Art of the soul. It is a living palette of heart and mind, mixing the modern Chassidic culture and contemporary issues ….which perhaps we rather not talk about. Add honesty and simplicity, and you have a Street Farbrengen.“Our canvas is the Street corner we cherish - common sense, heart, and the spirit of adventure. Its what is ChabadLife.” Co- hosts Reuven Flamer and Zacharia Lipitz talk about what normally lives underground...Gimmel Tammuz.

We can read Hanukkah as a turnaround story: oppression, resistance, triumph.
Street Farbrengen questions that framing entirely.
The Maccabees didn’t fight because they believed they would win. They fought because it wasn’t a question. Like Nachshon stepping into the sea. Like chassidim in Communist Russia. No cheshbon. No inner debate. No narrative.
Through a deep dive into the Rebbe’s teaching on the Hanukkah oil — oil that burned miraculously without losing its identity — we explore a powerful model for Jewish life today:
Not fixing yourself into holiness.
Not denying your contradictions.
But living as oil that remains oil — and still burns beyond nature.
