Chanukah Shabbat 12-19-25.018.jpeg

THIS FRIDAY, DEC. 19, 7PM

 

RABBI FALICK WILL SPEAK: "FROM REVOLT TO FESTIVAL OF LIGHT"

 

As we light the sixth candle of Chanukah...

Rabbi Falick will talk about some Chanukah history. It didn’t begin with a miracle of oil! Its origins lie in an important revolt, a rededicated Temple, the trauma of later Jewish uprisings, and the Rabbis’ desire to shift the holiday’s message. Explore the surprising history of the holiday, including one surprising Talmudic tale of how some Rabbis gave Adam (that first one) credit for celebrating the winter solstice.
