Channukah Guide

Happy Channukah from Living Jewishly!

Our Channukah guide by Kohenet Naomi Azriel and Rabbi Bluth embodies the essence of Channukah – through sacred collage, teachings, and spiritual practice.

It compiles the eight emerging essences of Channukah so you can journey on your own quest through these fascinating and powerful days of LIGHT.

What is the Essence of Channukah?

Our holidays aren’t simply commemorative, rather, they infuse time with lessons and teachings as anchors to guide us. If moadim (holidays) give our lives something to contemplate, to celebrate, to transform – – what then is the gift of Channukah? 

On Channukah we tell a few different stories. On one hand we recount the Maccabean victory – a remarkable and inspiring story – albeit somewhat hyperbolic as suggested by the sages themselves. On the other hand, we learn of the miracle of the oil – a story the sages emphasize, giving it more power and significance than even the military one. 

Some say there is something unsettling here, something incongruent. And yet emerging from these stories are bubbling wisdoms of gratitude, hope, and dedication!
