.Tune in for a lively discussion on the joy of Chanukah, especially in the Land of Israel, and the significance of the festival today. Rabbi Richman and Yosef Adest, filling in for Yitzchak Reuven who returns from the USA this week, also discuss a perplexing incident recorded in parshat Vayishlach: the patriarch Yaakov’s mysterious struggle with an angel. Rabbi Richman gives this event new meaning for our generation as he cites our ancient sages’ prophetic statements regarding the crisis of faith in our generation – the times preceding the messianic redemption.
This week’s Torah portion, Vayeshev: Our sages teach that the sin of abandonment and sale of Yosef by his brothers was so grievous that it must be rectified in every generation. What does this mean for us, in our time? Is it possible that we are guilty of the same sin as Yosef's brothers? Click here to watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?
