Welcome to Monday Torah, a weekly internet class with Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Jacobson, spiritual leader of Congregation Bais Shmuel in Crown Heights and a world renowned speaker and teacher.
This week’s Chanukah class focuses on the ancient debate between the Houses of Hillel and of Shammai whether to increase in candles each night or decrease. What is the rationale behind their disagreement? We will study the history and origin of Chanukah in the Talmudic and Rabbinic sources, and delve to the roots of the argument between the schools of Shamai and Hillel from both a legal and spiritual perspective.
The class explores many powerful Chanukah ideas. It will give you a new and deeper perspective into the holiday.
The Monday evening class is aired weekly on TheYeshiva.net and on COLlive.com.
