rdi-2015.12.11Scope and Content
Rabbi Ingber begins by pointing out that it is Hanukkah, a new moon, and a new month. He relates that Hanukkah is not technically a story from the bible, but he explains how the holiday and the menorah can relate to parsha Miketz through Joseph and Judah. He says Joseph gives all credit to God and represents the eight lights of the menorah, a gift from God. Whereas, Judah is the one who takes responsibility and is the one who lights the other candles. He points out that Jews are named for Judah, and they therefore need to be the candle that lights the others. This is done by righting wrongs and fighting injustice.Category
