Watch a special Torah study from Shabbat, Saturday, December 20.
The miracle of Chanukah of emerging from darkness into great light, reminds us that nothing is impossible with God. A small group of Hasmoneans defeated the mighty Greek army and restored the sanctity of our Temple.
This message also appears in this week’s Torah portion. Joseph rises from the depths of prison to become the viceroy of Egypt.
As we witness acts of violence around the world—against Jews and alongside other horrific acts of brutality, we pray that God will bring us out of these dark times and lead us into much brighter ones.
Rabbi Gadi Capela
