We are living through a moment when darkness feels louder than ever.

In this episode, we look at Chanukah not as a nostalgic holiday, but as a blueprint for how Jews survive moments of terror, fear, and moral confusion. From recent attacks targeting Jews celebrating Chanukah, to the haunting images of hostages lighting candles in captivity, this conversation asks the deeper question: why does Jewish light persist when logic runs out?

Drawing on Torah sources, Jewish history, and lived experience, this episode explores why darkness intensifies before redemption, how Chanukah reactivates the original miracle of light, and what each of us can do — right now — to tap into that light in our own lives.

This is not an episode about panic.

It’s about clarity.

It’s about continuity.

And it’s about the quiet power of one candle — then another.
