| Chanukah: Beauty Gone Ugly |
# BA 550 |
| by
Berger, Rabbi Motty |
|
| Why was the Greek ideology of beauty so threatening? The war against the Greeks was the first time we fought not for our lives, but for the sake of our religion. What was the unhealthy hidden quality woven into their culture, and how is this quality similar to the ideology of science and technology we practically worship today? |

| Mikeitz: A Flame Which Can't Be Extinguished |
# CA 010 A |
| by
Carmell, Rabbi Aryeh |
|
| Pharoah's dream of the skinny cows swallowing the fat cows reads far deeper than it's storybook narrative. Rabbi Carmell peels away a few layers to reveal truths about how good can never die. Hear how the holy spark within each Jew can never be extinguished, and how it connects to the one flask of pure oil that was found on Chanukah. |

| In order to get a better idea of who we are, let's first take a look at who we aren't. By colorfully painting the basic worldviews of both the Greek and Jewish cultures, Rebbetzin Heller shows a picture of contrasts that not only defines the responsibilities of a Jew, but also the privilege of carrying forward the ideals for which our grandparents constantly fought. |

| Chanukah: On Our Journey Towards God |
# HT 550 C |
| by
Heller, Rebbitzen Tziporah |
|
| The Greeks were sophisticates who highly valued the intellect. The Jewish worldview similarly places the mind on a pedestal. The difference between them: one is egocentric, and the other is spiritually based. Hear how Chanukah teaches us to see the 'holiness' in people around us, and to appreciate our awe-filled journey of loving God. |

| #12 - Maccabian Revolt and Chanukah |
# KE 806 FF |
| by
Spiro, Rabbi Ken |
|
| The Greek rulers demanded that the Temple's Hellenized High Priest sacrifice a pig, which he did. An all-out guerrilla war erupted started by a few defenders of pure Jewish values and the entire Greek army. Fought in the foothills between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, the Maccabean revolt resulted in the miracle of Chanukah - which ushered in the Hasmonean dynasty. None the less, riddled by low morale and religious decay, Jewish independence eventually submitted to the heel of Rome.

| The Darker Side of Chanukah |
# KI 550 |
| by
Kahn, Rabbi Ari |
|
| Many of us have heard the basic Chanukah story between the Greeks and Jews, but there was an even deeper civil war going on during the same time period between the 'old Jews' and the 'new enlightened Hellenized Jews'. This intense struggle is less well known, but was much more intense and tragic. Hear the background, and the ensuing internal and external battles for cultural supremacy. |

# KL 550 |

Kelemen, Rabbi Leib |
|
| Each Jewish holiday is a window of opportunity. What is the light of Chanukah that is just waiting to be turned on? In this engaging lecture, R' Kelemen examines why the victory over the Greeks was commemorated by a holiday, despite the fact that the Jews had overcome greater adversaries in the past. Hear how our defeat of the Greeks can help us overcome our own personal natures, and thereby elevate ourselves and our experience of Chanukah. |

Rabbi Leff spells out the insidious virus of Greek culture that threatens our existence each and every day, and why this tiny miracle is the best reminder. (Some Hebrew words not translated). |

| Lighting the Fire Within |
# NE 550 |

|
| The Greeks craftily avoided forcing the Jews to sin against their beliefs. They simply forbade them to perform a few positive mitzvos. How did they discover our weak spot, and how did it backfire to generate in us even more enthusiasm for our beliefs? This class is powerful, but short - and free. Enjoy this Chanukah gift as a taste of the inspiring insights packed into our great selections. |

| Chanukah: The Lights of the Candles |
# ON 550 A |
| by
Orlowek, Rabbi Noach |
|
| The Rabbis learn that because of the extra light from the Shabbos candles there is less chance of stumbling or family quarrelling. So why on Chanukah is it forbidden to use the light of the Chanukah for any physical benefit? Hear the comparisons and contrasts of the physical and spiritual light that eminates from a single flame. |

| Maoz Tzur, Our Rock |
# ON 550 B |
| by
Orlowek, Rabbi Noach |
|
| How are we to understand the symbolism of Hashem being our 'Rock'? A crystal clear answer is found in the famous dispute between Beis Shamai and Beis Hillel regarding the proper order for lighting the Chanukah candles. Their dispute boils down to one question: how should one view the concept of time? Do we base time from the perspective of what we've actually done - or - from what we're still planning to do? Acknowledging your own attitude on this issue can open a door for you to better understand the nature of your personality. |

| A War of Beauty |
# PS 550 A |
| by
Pincus, R. Shimshon ztl |
|
| Just how true is this statement? Beauty Belongs to Greece. One of the stong grievances the Greeks had against the Jews was the outright trespass into their exalted domain of beauty. Rav Pincus makes a powerful point: in which ways do people confuse real beauty and truth?

| The Miracle of Chanukah |
# WB 550 |
| by
Wein, Rabbi Berel |
|
| As a Jewish people, our task is to recognize G-d and thank Him for the miracles He performs for us. The holiday of Chanukah exemplifies this perhaps more than any other. But what happens if we lose the sense of wonder at G-d and His miracles? How can we properly acknowledge G-d if we have begun to take Him for granted? With an in-depth Halachic discussion, peppered with humorous personal stories, Rabbi Wein makes sure to keep our Chanukah meaningful and heightens our sense of the spiritual value of gratitude.

Weinberg, Rebbitzen Denah |
|
| When light was created, a portion was hidden away for the next world, but some of it still peeks through on Shabbos. At the time we light candles to usher in the Shabbos, we leave behind all material strivings for a day, and what's left - a chance to reach a new spiritual relationship with God. Hear a way of seeing the beauty of life during your own Friday night candle lighting.

| Mikeitz/Chanukah: Wake Up O Israel |
# WG 010 C |
| by
Wagensberg, Rabbi Abba |
|
| Did you ever have a dream that felt so real and then suddenly wake up and realize that the whole experience was just a figment of your imagination? Sometimes this is how life itself is, sometimes we make certain choices and get involved in various activities to then later realize that we must have been sleeping when we got involved in those scenarios. We begin to ask ourselves, 'What was I thinking? Was I sleeping?' And the answer often is: Yes. And then sometimes we regret having ever gotten involved to begin with. In this talk, Rabbi Wagensberg once again, reveals to us, another dimension and a different angle, on how to view what happens in our lives. In this class, we will discover how the Chanukah candles with all that they represent, can shed light into the darkest chapters of our lives and wake us up from our slumber. |

# WG 550 |

| If I behave in a certain way, will that mold my thoughts and emotions? Or maybe it's the other way around and sentiments influence ones deeds? Rabbi Wagnesberg's exciting lecture jumps into Hillel and Shamai's disagreement over which order the menorah lights need to be lit. Appreciating how each rabbis viewed a 'flame' can help us understand which sphere takes precedence - actions or emotions.
