This morning we discuss Matityahu's father, Yochanan Kohein Gadol, and why he is mentioned in the prayer for Chanukah, given his tragic end of turning to heresy after 80 years as the highest Torah leader of the Jewish people. Quoting Rabbi Chaim Jachter, we tell an amazing story about Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, and explain how invoking Yochanan Kohein Gadol expresses the goal and lesson of how we light the Chanukah Menorah.
