About this listen

In this special Hanukkah episode, Rabbi Jonathan Tawil explores the deeper meaning of the Festival of Lights. Moving beyond the historical events, he uncovers the spiritual struggle between Greek wisdom and Torah wisdom, and why Channukah represents far more than a military victory.

Rabbi Tawil explains how Greek culture sought control and human mastery, while Judaism teaches self-mastery and living in the service of G-d. Through powerful insights from Chazal and Jewish thought, this episode sheds light on why the exile of Greece is described as “darkness” and how the light of Hanukkah continues to guide us today.

A thought-provoking conversation about wisdom, purpose, and what it truly means to bring light into the world. 🕯️
