Description

Chanukah is more than a miracle of oil — it is a declaration of gratitude, faith, and Jewish continuity. In this class, we explore the deeper meaning of the Chanukah Menorah through the Rambam, Rashi, Ramban, and Chazal, uncovering how the Chanukiah is deliberately patterned after the Menorah in the Beit HaMikdash. From placement and timing to oil, wicks, and prohibition of benefit, each detail reinforces a timeless message: Hashem’s presence remains with the Jewish people, even in dark times.
