Beyond the Miracle: Seeing the Festival in a New Light

Join Rabbi Amy S Wallk for a captivating exploration of Hanukkah's origins. Delve beyond the familiar tale of the miraculous cruse of oil to discover the historical context, cultural significance, and spiritual depth that make this holiday a cherished tradition. We'll uncover the hidden stories and profound insights that have shaped Hanukkah for centuries, learning about the ancient customs, the modern interpretations, and the enduring lessons that continue to inspire us today. This enlightening lecture offers a fresh perspective on Hanukkah: learn new ways (or rather, old, forgotten ways) to relate to a familiar holiday.

We strive to ensure access and meaningful participation by all. As such, this program will have closed captioning.
