Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares about some aspects of Chanukah including what are the three parts of the menorah and what do they symbolize and what aspect is unique to Chanukah that no other Jewish holiday has.
Rabbi Tovia Singer – Shares why the miracle of Chanukah that the oil for one day lasted eight days is discussed by the Rabbis contrasts with it not being discussed in the historical texts of Chanukah (The Book of the Maccabees). Why is the focus of one the military conquest while the other the oil miracle of Chanukah. One lasted until today (menorah), the other did not (the military conquest).
