Learning How to Love - Part 50
"Secrets of the Menorah"
With Rabbi Ari Sollish
(Recorded live in Atlanta on December 13, 2020)
The menorah is one of our most beloved mitzvot, and has become one of Judaism's most prominent symbols. While the message of the menorah seems fairly straightforward, it does contain its secrets. The Kabbalists reveal deeper meanings embedded within the menorah -- powerful lessons that can profoundly impact our lives.
Among the secrets of the menorah is its ability to heal the fractures that exist between us and bring us together. Seen in this light, the menorah is the ultimate unifier. And this truth is encoded in something so basic to the mitzvah that we might overlook it -- the specific placement of the menorah.
In this very special Chanukah-edition of Kabbalah & Coffee, we conclude our series "Learning How to Love" and discover the healing power of the menorah and the Festival of Lights.
