Episode 101: From Maccabees to Menorahs: Hanukkah’s History and Community Traditions


Listen Later

Ever wondered about the rich history and cultural significance of Hanukkah? Interested in the heartwarming community work by Chabad in Fremont? We'll explore the courageous story of the Maccabees, share our family traditions, and shine a light on the importance of Hanukkah - a celebration of light over darkness and the power of standing for what's right.

We then turn our attention to the incredible community-oriented work done by Chabad Fremont. We express our admiration for their inclusive Hanukkah event that welcomes everyone. Listen closely as we dissect the planning, coordination and execution of successful community events - it's more intricate than you might think!

Finally, we share personal Hanukkah experiences and traditions. We reminisce about a grand menorah lighting in Manhattan, we too traverse our memory lanes to dig up our own Hanukkah celebrations. Together, we'll underscore the joy and sense of togetherness that comes with celebrating Hanukkah as a community. So, pull up a chair, grab a latke or a jelly donut, and join us on this enlightening venture through history, community work, and shared traditions.
