Episode Synopsis
The Challenge of Jewish Power: Lessons From the Maccabean Revolt For Today with Rabbi Yehuda HaCohen, West Bank Jewish Peace Activist and Educator
For 2,000 years the Jewish people were in a state of powerless. What can the story of the Maccabean Revolt teach us to help us become more comfortable with the power we’ve managed to obtain in the modern age, how Jewish values can inform our use of that power and what it really means ‘to live as a free people in our land’?
We will be hearing a first hand description from Rabbi Yehuda HaKohen who lives on the very mountain where the Maccabees hid, trained their forces and launched their guerrilla campaign against foreign rule.
