Special Chanukah Series: LOVE, LIGHTS, HANUKKAH! Episode Two: : What, precisely does Our Festival of Lights Commemorate and Celebrate? In this second episode we will focus on the formal ordination of the festival called Chanukah,. and the enactment of its sacred observances established by our Sages. This penetrating and insightful analysis of the traditional sources including Talmudic and medieval Rabbinic writings will highlight two significantly divergent, yet ultimately authentic approaches to the Torah underpinning of our Jewish Festival of Lights. Whatever you level of Jewish knowledge, literacy background this presentation will reveal surprising dimensions of our religious observance of Chanukah. In point form: Were we directed to be party to Joyous Spirits, or are these spiritual festivities to be experienced and enjoyed in the spirit of a Joyous Party as well? Rabbi Mendel Kaplan
