The Lesson of Chanukah
Chanukah is a time of praise and thanksgiving to God for the miracles and wonders that He performed on behalf of our ancestors “in those days at this time.” It is also a time to reflect upon and learn from the great events which happened in those days.
Rabbi Zalman Baruch Melamed | Kislev 25 5758
What Is Jewish Culture?
“The light shall triumph,” proclaims the Chanukah candle. It conveys the story of the small Jewish nation that stood up to the colossal Greek culture and emerged victorious. Does it also have the power to reveal to me what Jewish culture is?
Various Rabbis | Kislev 5768
Chanukah - An Eternal Light
Unlike Greek thought, Judaism teaches that all of man's actions possess value and make an impression upon the heavens and earth - momentarily and eternally. The morality of man is not mere courtesy; our commandments are not some external performance.
Rabbi David Chai Hacohen | Kislev, 5761
Hanukah Candles
In a bustling world of progress and development, in a day and age when the electric light bulb is taken for granted, we continue to light the Hanukah candles - just as we did some two thousand years ago.
Rabbi Shaul Yisraeli zt"l | Kislev 5762
"Each According to his Camp"
We cannot be satisfied with strengthening only one portion of the people, no matter how important its task be. We must designate persons for each of our national goals, whether the strengthening of the Torah or the building of the nation.
Rabbi David Chai Hacohen | Kislev, 5761
Western Culture – What to Accept and What to Reject
The House of Israel is unlike other nations. Every other nation can replace its culture for another without causing any damage whatsoever to the nation. This is not the case with the Jewish people. Our nation is no nation at all without its Torah.
