The event was co-sponsred by BMH-BJ
About the Event:
On Hannukah, we light candles and commemorate a time “when the evil Greek kingdom rose against Your people Israel.” Those who love studying Greek philosophy and literature must ask ourselves some big questions on this holiday. Fortunately, the Jewish tradition has much to offer us as we try to make sense of it.
