The Inner Depth of Chanuka - Episode 3: Yosef (Joseph) and the only way out of Darkness

Rabbi Daniel Rowe

In this mini-series, Rabbi Daniel Rowe explains the deeper meaning and understanding of the Jewish festival of Chanukah and how it applies to our lives.

In the previous episode we traced the roots of Chanuka (Hanukkah) back to the sale of Yosef (Joseph) in the Torah (Hebrew Bible). Rather than a mate rof simplistic jealousy, we discovered the dangers inherent in the charm, charisma and beauty of Yosef (Joseph). Time and again the idolatry of latre generations is linked back to the descendents of Yosef (Joseph). Even the assimilation of so many Jews into Hellenism and the internal schism central to the Chanuka (Hanukka) story is linked to him.

But the brothers, family of Israel, got it wrong. Torah and Chazal (Rabbis of the Telmud and Midrash) make it clear that yosef (Joseph) is indispensable to the ability of the Jewish people to survive in exile, whether in Egypt, in the Chanuka story, or the exile we remain in today. This video explores the indispenasability of Yosef (Joseph), his beauty and charm, and in which we disciver that the light of Yosef is the very light of Chanuka!
