Hanukkah

 

Study Sheets for Hanukkah:

 

 As Long as the Candle in Burning - A study with a number of texts from Jewish and Israeli sources that reference the struggle between light and darkness.

 

 

“There will be Miracles”- As Hanukkah is a celebration of miracles in our lives we would like to explore together the different kinds of miracles mentioned in our tradition. 

 

 

 Click here for the Masorti voice podcast. This is a pilot podcast made by Sam Rotenberg, a rabbinical student at Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies, currently studying in Israel.

The podcast explores the concept of  miracles through the eyes of Noam Youth, Rabbi Elisha Wolfin of V'Ahavta - The Masorti Kehilla of Zichron Ya'akov and and Vered Hollander-Goldfarb a teacher at the Conservative Yeshiva.

We welcome your feedback and suggestions as it is a pilot project.

 

Listing to this podcast it seems that In Israel, a miracle isn't a distant, supernatural event, like the splitting of the Red Sea. When we think of miracles in Israel, we think of miracles that happened in the lifetime of many Israelis- the war of independence and the six day war.

The Israeli miracle is one that happens to humans--often with us playing an important part--with the partnership of God. When we overcome the odds, whether in avoiding or surviving an accident or winning a war that seems impossible, we experience a miracle

 

 

 

 

 

The Masorti Movement is committed to a pluralistic, egalitarian, and democratic vision of Zionism. Masorti represents a “third” way. Not secular Judaism. Not ultra-Orthodoxy. But a Jewish life that integrates secular beliefs. Halakhah with inclusion and egalitarianism. Tradition that recognizes the realities of today’s world. Masorti engages tens of thousands of Israelis each year, young and old, native born as well as olim from around the globe.
