What is Hanukkah? A military victory by Maccabean heroes? A miracle of light in the darkest of times? This year it’s something more complicated. In this episode Donniel Hartman and Yossi Klein Halevi consider how Hanukkah’s classical Zionist narrative of power and sovereignty was challenged by October 7th, and how the Festival of Lights has changed again after Israel’s recent war victories. This episode is sponsored by Lois Kohn-Claar and Gary Claar. JOIN OUR EMAIL LIST FOR MORE HARTMAN IDEASThoughtful debate elevates us all.
