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.
