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.

In the previous episode we traced the roots of Chanuka (Hanukkah) back to the sale of Yosef (Joseph) in the Torah (Hebrew Bible). Rather than a mate rof simplistic jealousy, we discovered the dangers inherent in the charm, charisma and beauty of Yosef (Joseph). Time and again the idolatry of latre generations is linked back to the descendents of Yosef (Joseph). Even the assimilation of so many Jews into Hellenism and the internal schism central to the Chanuka (Hanukka) story is linked to him.

But the brothers, family of Israel, got it wrong. Torah and Chazal (Rabbis of the Telmud and Midrash) make it clear that yosef (Joseph) is indispensable to the ability of the Jewish people to survive in exile, whether in Egypt, in the Chanuka story, or the exile we remain in today. This video explores the indispenasability of Yosef (Joseph), his beauty and charm, and in which we disciver that the light of Yosef is the very light of Chanuka!

Are You A Charlotte?

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.
