Christmas. Hanukkah. These may seem like opposing holiday traditions, but they are rooted in the same hope: That we may find a light in the darkness. In this episode, I bring my Rabbi with me once again to discuss how an understanding of Jewish history & Hanukkah can illuminate the power we have to live nobly despite even the most adverse circumstances. After Rabbi Shreibman is done, I take a deep dive into the essence of Christmas as a time to celebrate Immanuel, or “God With Us.” Finally, we end with some Q&A from our live audience. It’s gets real. We discuss the feeling of God’s absence. We attempt to answer how polarizing religion can be. & Much more… If you or someone you love is searching for a deeper meaning to the holiday season, feeling apathetic or overwhelmed by loss and darkness, then this episode is for you.
