A blast from the past. Recorded 2 years ago in 5782 (or 2021 for all you assimilationists) as part of our podcast's first iteration, 2 Queers 4 Questions (which, is that still what we're called? I dunno it's blurry and we don't care).

We both recently listened and were struck by some of the stuff in here, questions and texts that go very deep to the meanings and possibilities of this holiday. So we wanted to share the conversation once again. Happy Chanukah, honey.

Our questions are:

1. Who is the enemy and how do we fight them/it?

2. What ruins is it time for us to rededicate?

3. Which miracle? / Where do we want to look for our miracles?

4. What darkness are we hoping to light? / What do we do with darkness, what do we do with light?
