In Part 1, we laid out questions: Why does the Midrash connect Greece to the "horn of an ox"? Why is Yosef described by Moshe using that imagery? Why does Yosef's rise to power in Egypt matter for understanding Chanukah?

Now we return to put the pieces together.Chanukah always falls during the Torah portions that tell the story of Yosef, and that timing isn't coincidental. In this episode, we explore what Yosef's journey—his success in a foreign empire, his beauty, his ability to navigate power—teaches us about the Chanukah struggle with Greece. What does it mean to shine in a world that celebrates external achievement?
And where does true power come from?

This is where the questions from Part 1 find their answers.
