Hannukah Yom IYYUN - Darkness, Forgetfulness, and Renewal


Join us for an inspiring day of learning, eating, candle lighting, farbrenging, and more!

We live in an age of forgetfulness, with information constantly updating itself, and with new technologies seemingly rendering history irrelevant to our lives. And yet, such apparent discontinuity and loss of cultural memory can be a sign and prelude to spiritual renewal. Jewish history has known many such periods, but it was the age of Hellenistic domination, and the story of the Maccabees that has been elevated into an eternal emblem of the particular power of the Jewish people to turn cultural amnesia into perennial reignition, through the holiday of Chanukah.
