Chanukah: Beauty Gone Ugly
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?

A Deeper Appreciation of Chanukah: Part 1
A Deeper Appreciation of Chanukah: Part 1 # HT 550 A
by 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 a Journey Towards God
Chanukah: On a 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.

The Darker Side of Chanukah
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
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
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
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 generated in us even more enthusiasm for our beliefs? This class is powerful, but short ñ and free. Enjoy this Chanukah gift as a taste of the inspiring insights packed into our great selections.

Chanukah: The Lights of the Candles
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
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
Chanukah - Opportunities for Change # ON 550 C
by Orlowek, Rabbi Noach
Chanukah is the first instance the Jewish religion came under attack for its pursuit of ultimate truth. Nevuchadnezzar, who was ordered to keep us marching to prevent our doing teshuva, was told that if we had repented, God would have had mercy on us and let us return to our land.
By us repeatedly avoiding opportunities to do teshuva, we create a pattern where the opportunities for returning are progressively lessened. The avodah of Chanukah, as Rabbi Orlowek explains, is learning how to grab onto valuable opportunities of reflection that come your way.

Vayeishev: Chanukah Inside Out
Vayeishev: Chanukah Inside Out # WG 009
by 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
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 is it the other way around that my sentiments influence my deeds? Rabbi Wagnesberg’s exciting lecture jumps to Hillel and Shamai’s disagreement over how to light the menorah - increasing the candles each night, or decreasing night by night. Understanding how each of these great rabbis viewed a ‘flame’ helps determine which sphere takes precedence – action or emotion.

Chanukah: The Battle for Community
Chanukah: The Battle for Community # ZY 550
by Zweig, Rabbi Yochanan
Why are there so many unusual halachos to ensure that fellow Jews 'see' the dancing flames of our menorah? And why did the Greeks only pinpoint certain mitzvos to abolish, for instance Rosh Chodesh? Hear a new twist about the fierce battle being fought today to preserve our Jewish sense of unity and community.
