This is a recording of a zoom talk given by Rabbi Shlomo in 2022 for Project Inspire's Mindflex program. We explore the fascinating story of the very first Chanukah and what our Sages were trying to accomplish with Chanukah. Discussed as well is the deep connection between Chanukah and the holiday of Sukkot, as well as what we are supposed to take away from a truly mysterious Jewish holiday.
