Hanukkah

Ariel Berkowitz, Yosef Berkowitz, and Dean Bye explore the rich history, meaning, and modern application of Hanukkah—the Feast of Dedication. Together, they trace the dramatic events of the Maccabean era, the cleansing and rededication of the Temple, and the origins of this powerful celebration. They discuss how Hanukkah developed through Jewish tradition, how it appears in the New Testament, and why its themes of faithfulness, courage, and renewed devotion continue to inspire today. Their conversation invites listeners to see Hanukkah not just as a historical commemoration, but as a personal call to a rededication of our heart to the Lord, steadfastness, and bringing light into the darkness.
