| 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. |

# HG 550 |

| A Deeper Appreciation of Chanukah: Part 1 |
# HT 550 A |

Heller, Rebbitzen Tziporah |
|
| 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. |

| Chanukah: Making War with Nature |
# KL 550 |
| by
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. |

| Chanukah and the Greeks |
# LZ 550 A |
| by
Leff, Rabbi Zev |
|
| Why do we celebrate the miracle of Chanukah if God has performed so many greater miracles that are barely mentioned? 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 |
| by
Elsaz, Rabbi Naftoli |
|
| 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. |

| Chanukah: Opportunities for Change |
# ON 550 C |
| by
Orlowek, Rabbi Noach |
|
| Chanukah is the first instance the Jewish nation came under attack for pursuing ultimate truth. Avoiding opportunities that lead to change creates a pattern where openings for return are progressively lessened. The avodah of Chanukah, as Rabbi Orlowek explains, is learning to grab onto valuable opportunities of reflection that come into your life.

|
| Chanuka is the time of miracles. The question posed is why don't we also see supernatural events in the world today? Rabbi Stern describes how in fact we are surrounded by the miraculous and why it's so hard to see. Hear how learning Torah opens our eyes to it. |

| 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.

| Your Shabbos Candles |
# WD 511 |
| by
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.

# WG 009 |

Wagensberg, Rabbi Abba |
|
| Rabbi Wagensberg gave this talk when Chanukah coincided with Parshas Vayeishev. He looks into the parsha and pesukim about Chanukah to answer many questions that arise, including halachos about Chanukah, the menorah in the time of the Beis Hamikdash, and more! Rabbi Wagensberg also explores the idea of outer and inner light and the way it corresponds to different types of wisdom. A very interesting talk! |

| Vayeishev- Chanuka: Burning the candle from both ends |
# WG 550 |
| by
Wagensberg, Rabbi Abba |
|
| 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.

What specifically was it about Jewish belief that enraged the Greek nation to stamp it out? Hear how Torah She’Baal Peh (the Oral Torah) become the light and strength behind their victory. |

Rabbi Zeldman compares how the Greek culture of today focuses much of its attention on the external shells of greatness, while the Torah focuses on developing one's inner illumination of wisdom. |

Hear a new twist about the fierce battle being fought today to preserve our Jewish sense of unity and community. |
