In this mini-series, Rabbi Daniel Rowe explains the deeper meaning and understanding of the Jewish festival of Chanukah and how it applies to our lives.
This episode explores the fraternal tension in the first family of Israel. The Torah (Hebrew Bible) recounts the story of the brothers who sell Joseph. In this video we discover the fear they had that his beauty and charm could lead to narcissim and self worshp, and even lead to paganism. What it is that they feared in fact came true in later generations as the Tenach (Hebrew Bible) recounts episodes of Joseph's descendents falling into precisely the same trap. It turns out that the weaknesses they detected and vulnerability to societal approval, assimilation, and betrayal also came true in the Chanuka story.
Yet the rejection of Yosef/ Joseph was the wrong approach. His ability to internact in the world was never manipulative, and always loyal. And without his attricbutes the Jewish nation can never survive exiles. It turns out paradoxically that he carries the root to survival in Egypt, in the Chanuka story, and ultimately in the long exile before the Messianic era.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
