Description

This is the first class in a series on Chanukah by Rabbi David available at www.naaleh.com. In this Torah shiur, Rabbi Avishai David explicates the beautiful poem sung by Jewish families throughout the world after candle lighting, known as Maoz Tzur. Rabbi David discusses the historical background of the liturgical poem, how it became customary to recite it during Chanukah, its roots in Tanach, as well as its structure and its themes of galut (exile) and geula (redemption). This Torah class and hundreds of others are available for free at www.naaleh.com in streaming video and for download in mp3 and ipod video formats.
