Description

In his teachings on Chanukkah, and for the weeks of parshiyot Vayeshev and Miketz, the Sefat Emet deals with deep meanings within the days of Chanukkah, and opens a door to profound understandings in serving God throughout the entire year. Together, we will look at the path he has laid out for us, a path that will lead us into winter and help us take the lights of the holiday with us, further and beyond.
