Ch. 10 Lit for Chanukah

Today we welcome Avigail Morad (@thejewishsahm) to the garden for an illuminating deep dive into Chanukah. Beyond the latkes and dreidels, discover the true essence of this holiday. We explore the historical Chanukah story, unpack the singular importance of the menorah lighting commandment, and debunk common holiday misconceptions. Avigail and I discuss how this ancient tale of Jewish preservation resonates today, touching on modern antisemitism, assimilation challenges, and the enduring strength of Jewish identity. Learn why after thousands of years, the Chanukah lights continue to shine as a beacon of resilience and divine protection.
