This conversation with R. Alex Israel studies the optimistic visions of Second Temple restoration in the book of Zecharia, read as a special Channukah Haftorah. Does redemption come through physical might or the spirit of God? How can the spoken word change reality? These are some deeper questions we consider as we reflect on the way these Second Temple visions still relate to our world today.
This week's episode is dedicated in loving memory of Helene Bers, Chaya Ayala bat Eliezer, by her Cantor grandchildren.
This year The Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftorah.
